AUD/USD Price Forecast – Australian Dollar Trying to Break Out

The Australian dollar has initially dropped during the Friday session only to turn around and break towards the highs again.

The Australian dollar has pulled back a bit to kick off the trading session on Friday, but then bounced as the 200 day EMA came into play. At this point, we are getting remarkably close to the 0.67 handle, an area that if we can break above, the market is likely to go much higher. At this point, it certainly looks as if the Aussie dollar is trying to take out the resistance and start a new trend higher, but one has to wonder what is going to happen between the United States and China? Clearly that is not going to be a good thing and with Donald Trump announcing a press conference late on Friday, we could see a sudden reversal. That being said, if the day closes above the 0.67 level, then it is likely that we continue to go much higher.

This is a market that looks likely to have to make some type of significant decision, but at this juncture it is difficult to imagine that it is going to be easy. You need to be overly cautious when trading this pair, because once we make a move it is probably going to be rather drastic. Ultimately, I believe that the market will probably see some type of resolution, but clearly the market looks as if it is trying to break out to the upside. If this fails, it is right at where we had seen a major breakdown several months ago. In other words, it is decision time so therefore let the market decide and then simply follow.
