The Australian Dollar continues to struggle with holding above the 0.78 figure against its US counterpart. Near-term resistance is in the 0.7813-18 area (38.2% Fibonacci retracement, June 3 high), with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 0.7880. Alternatively, a reversal below the 23.6% Fib at 0.7731 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% retracement at 0.7680.

An actionable trade setup is absent at this point, arguing against committing to a directional bias on long or short side. We will continue to stand aside for now, waiting for a clear-cut trading opportunity to present itself in the days ahead.
