Technical analysis
The US dollar declines in the currency market. Despite the weak macro data coming from Australia, AUD/USD pair rose for a third week in a row. Rising prices for raw materials supports raw Australian currency. The AUD / USD has been able to develop an upward trend above the level of 0.7445 (Fibonacci level of 23.6% correction to the wave of decrease in pair in July 2014), and came close to the key level 0.7510 (EMA200 on the 4-hour and daily charts) resistance.
However, the steam remains within the downlink channel on the daily chart. The lower boundary of the channel is below the level of 0.7315 (November lows), 0.7230 near the mark.
On the weekly chart the pair AUD / USD also remains within the descending channel.
Indicators OsMA and Stochastic on the weekly, monthly charts are on the side of the sellers. On the 4-hour and daily charts Stochastic begins to unfold on sales.
