AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.7145, having hit a 18-day high of 0.7168 earlier today.
The pair created a bullish outside reversal candle yesterday – the day began with pessimism but ended on an optimistic note, engulfing the previous day’s price action.
However, a close above 0.7150 (yesterday’s high) is needed to confirm a bullish breakout. That would also add credence to the falling wedge breakout seen on the daily chart at press time and open the doors for a sustained move above the immediate hurdle of 0.7207 (Feb. 21 high).
On the downside, Wednesday’s low of 0.7057 is the level to beat for the bears. As of writing,
