AUD/USD Elliott Wave
From the beginning of the last week the AUD/USD pair was trading in a downward movement, developing the last (E) wave (coloured orange) after it finished corrective (D) wave (coloured orange). Yesterday during the Asian session we could observe a descending movement towards the 1.0474 level. Therefore, during the European and New York sessions the AUD/USD pair did not manage to hold this level and the price reached a new 2-day high at 1.0525 level. At the moment we can observe developing of the impulse 3 wave (coloured blue) and we are expecting to see the price around 1.0270 soon. In accordance with our wave rules and taking into account that the wave 3 retraces 261.8% of the wave 1, we can define the potential targets with Fibonacci extensions (1.0612-1.0496-1.0577) with Take Profit at 1.0269 (261.8% of wave 1). To reduce the risk, we can use resistance point at 1.0515 as Stop Loss. Also it is necessary to monitor the U.S. Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment data that can change the rate of the pair.
