AUD/USD Bearish Triangle Breakout
As we could have seen in the previous AUD/USD analysis, the price followed the bearish setup and at this point, it is making a breakout. The bearish triangle breakout zone is 0.7390-0.7405 and this is the POC for short trades. A 4h close below 0.7350 should initiate a continuation move towards 0.7524 and 0.7298. Selling on rallies is the valid option.
