AUD/USD flows flat above 0.9260

FXstreet.com (Chicago) - AUD/USD extends the trading range above the 0.9620 after bouncing off the 0.95 zone.

Data in the US

Later today, durable goods orders are expected in the US along durable goods orders ex transportation and the Reuters/ Michigan consumer sentiment index. According to Valeria Bednarik, analyst from FXstreet.com, “after a dip to 0.9570 support, the AUD/USD finally managed to regain the 0.9600 level, still far from suggesting further advances: the hourly chart shows price below its 20 SMA and indicators heading lower below their midline, while in the 4 hours chart the technical picture is also negative. Only a clear recovery above 0.9680 strong resistance level should anticipate another round of gains in the Australian dollar.”
