AUD/USD - Fresh 2-1/2-Month High Trades, Key Resistance In Focus

By Christopher Romano  —  Aug 17 - 07:01 AM

• AUD/USD rallied 0.7081-0.7129 overnight, traded its highest since June 5

• NY opened near 0.7125, the pair traded up +0.61% in early action

• Broad-based USD selling, US yield & USD/CNH drops buoyed

• Rallies in gold, silver, copper & equities contributed to lifting AUD/USD

• Immediate resistance near 0.7150 but bigger resistance sits 0.7180/0.7200

• 76.4% Fib of 0.7277-0.6867, series of daily highs from May-June sit in that zone

• Techs are bullish; RSIs rising and not overbought, monthly bull hammer in place

• AUD/USD's hold above 10-, 21- & 55-DMAs reinforces the bullish signals
