Resistance level at 0.7000 handle looks pivotal.
My previous signal on 2nd August was not triggered as there was no bullish price action when the price first reached the support level I had identified at 0.6913.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote in my previous forecast on 2nd August that the AUD/USD currency pair was showing a mixed technical picture: a medium-term symetrical bullish price channel, but choppy and is bearish price action over the short-term.
I thought the best approach would be hoping for the price to continue falling to the support level at 0.6913, and to enter a long trade if there is a firm bullish bounce there.
This did not pay off but it would not have got anyone into trouble either.
The technical picture today is somewhat different. The price chart below shows that the flow of the price has moved from being contained within a bullish price channel into a new bearish price channel. What is especially interesting about this channel is that the upper trend line is quite confluent with a key resistance level which itself is confluent with a major round number at 0.7000. It is clear that a short from a bearish reversal at 0.7000 could be an interesting trade, especially as the price has a lot of room to fall, with no key support until 0.6878 is reached.
The major event of the month these days is the US inflation data due today, it is quite likely the release will trigger a meaningful spike in the price, so scalpers might find some pips fading these spikes at key levels if any set up. I will repeat, a short trade at 0.7000 looks potentially very interesting.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of US CPI data at 1:30pm London time. There is nothing of high importance scheduled today concerning the AUD.
