The Australian dollar has fallen during most of the early hours on Monday, reaching towards the 0.7833 level. The market has plenty of support just below, and on the hourly chart it looks as if the buyers may be trying to make a bit of a stand.

AUD/USD daily chart, February 27, 2018

The Australian dollar has fallen a bit during the beginning of the week, as Monday was a bit pro-US dollar. I think that the Australian dollar will continue to be noisy, but it also looks as if we are finding a bit of support in the general area. I think that if we can break above the 0.7850 level, it’s likely that we will bounce towards the 0.79 level again. I do like the longer-term outlook for the Australian dollar, because I believe that the US dollar will continue to sell off for much of the year. However, it’s obvious that we have a significant fight on our hands, and I believe that we will continue to see a lot of this choppiness.

I think that the 0.80 level above is a bit of a magnet for price, so it makes sense that it’s going to favor this market reaching towards that area. Overall, I believe in a “buy on the dips” attitude in this market, but I also recognize that most of the trading will be from a short-term perspective as there is so much noise above, so it makes sense that we will get several opportunities to get involved. I think that the 0.78 level will be the “floor” in the market short-term, and ultimately, I believe that we are trying to build up the necessary momentum to break out to the upside and continue a longer-term rally. This isn’t to say that it will be easy, but I do believe in the longer-term efficacy of an Australian dollar rally.
