Technical outlook for the AUD/USD

According to ">Jim Langlands from FX Charts, the 4 hour chart look positive and the downside could find support around 0.9040/50, and below here at 0.9025: “I would doubt that we are headed much below here today, although if wrong, 0.9000 should find bids ahead of 0.8980”.

To the upside he notes that it the price rises above 0.9100 it could get interesting, particularly if overcomes 0.9133 (last week highs). “We should not completely discount the possibility of a reverse head/shoulders formation, which would have the potential to head up towards a target of around 0.94502, warns Langlands.
