Forex Commentary: AUDUSD Closes above Parity, 3rd November 2010

Forex Commentary: AUDUSD Closes above Parity

The Australian dollar closed above parity today for the first time ever against the U.S. dollar. The AUDUSD closed out today’s trading session at 1.0060. Now that 1.0000 has been breached and closed above it might turn into a support level, either way it will be an important level in the near future.

This close above parity for the AUSUSD reflects the changing dynamics of the global economy and strengthening in the Asia – Pacific region.

Notice how there were multiple fakey and pin bar setups in the course of this recent AUDUSD uptrend that could have allowed you to enter this trend with a tight stop and a huge reward potential.
