Daily Forex Analysis – May 25, 2012

AUDUSD Analysis.
AUDUSD stays below a downward trend line on 4-hour chart, and remains in downtrend from 1.0474, the rise from 0.9689 is treated as consolidation of the downtrend. As long as the trend line resistance holds, we’d expect downtrend to resume, and next target would be at 0.9600 area. However, a clear break above the trend line resistance will indicate that the downward movement from 1.0474 has completed at 0.9689 already, then the following upward movement could bring price back to 1.0600 zone.

Key resistance is at 80.61, as long as this level holds, the price action in the range is treated as consolidation of the downtrend from 84.17 (Mar 15 high), and one more fall towards 78.00 is still possible after consolidation. However, a break above 80.61 will indicate that the downward movement from 84.17 has completed at 78.99 already, and the target for the following upward movement would be at 83.00 area.
