The reasoning behind selecting this area was due to the resistance holding back the buyers on Wednesday, as well as additional resistance coming in from the 2018 yearly opening level seen...
As can be seen from the H4 timeframe this morning, the commodity-linked currency found active buyers around H4 support coming in at 0.7869. On the back of a disappointing round of US economic data, the H4 candles were able to wind up closing the day just ahead of the 0.79 handle.
Over on the bigger picture, this translates to a push higher within the walls of a...

This lifted the H4 candles beyond the 1.25 handle...
The Aussie dollar took to the downside in early London hours on Tuesday, following a modest push to highs of 0.7864 on the back of stronger-than-expected AUD building approvals m/m.
