Trade Idea
AUDUSD Daily Chart:
The Aussie despite penetrating very important support it has not managed to close below and has formed a doji candle. In addition RSI(14) shows that the pair is oversold. This might be an early short-medium term trend reversal signal, nevertheless all attempted longs should normally wait for additional confirmation.
