AUD/USD Price Forecast November 6

The Australian dollar has been rather quiet during the trading session on Monday, as traders came back from the weekend. The shooting star on Friday shows that there is an extreme amount of bearish pressure near the 0.7250 level, and therefore I think we will continue to struggle to continue to go higher.

The Australian dollar was rather quiet during the trading session on Monday, as we have seen a bit of a barrier start to form between the 0.72 level that extends to the 0.7250 level. Ultimately, I think that if we break down below the bottom of the shooting star from Friday, it is technically a sell signal, and we should see this market drop down to the 0.71 handle. At this point, I believe that the Australian dollar is going to continue to suffer, because quite frankly the Sino-American relations haven’t gotten any better.

Beyond that, there is a downtrend line that has influenced trading on Friday as well. At this point, I think it’s only a matter of time before the sellers get involved then we could see this market reach down towards the 0.70 level. After all, we’ve seen a lot of bearish pressure longer-term, and it makes sense as we continue to see a deterioration in global trade. Remember, Australia is highly leveraged to the Chinese economy so I don’t think we are looking at a scenario in which you can buy the Aussie quite yet. Quite frankly, we would need to see a complete turnaround in the Chinese/American trade situation for the Aussie to truly pick up major momentum to the upside. I believe that is a long way away, so quite frankly I’m a seller and not a buyer.
