Forex Trade Setups Commentary: AUDUSD bounces off 0.9650 / USD index, 28th October 2010

Forex Trade Setups Commentary: AUDUSD bounces off 0.9650, USD index

As we discussed in yesterday’s commentary the AUDUSD intra-day charts were looking bullish. The pair has since pushed higher off support near 0.9650, tacking on about 70 pips to yesterday’s close.

The AUDUSD is currently in trading range between about 1.000 and 0.9650. The daily chart formed an inside bar today indicating this pair is currently very undecided as to which direction it will head in mid-term. We may see further consolidation in this range before we get any strong directional moves occurring.

The 4hr chart below shows the recent price action near the top of the range (1.0000) and near the bottom (0.9650) that traders could have used to take short-term trades off of.
