AUD/USD breaks through one resistance and has next in sites

The first of three Fibonacci projections at 0.9083 was no match for AUD/USD and it’s looking like the technicians call for a move up to 0.9264 may be coming to fruition.

Wednesday brings traders more data to digest from the US including the US Trade Balance, the Fed’s Beige Book and some speaking time for the FOMC’s William Dudley.
