\tAUDUSD<\/span> – Retail traders have aggressively scaled back on AUDUSD-short<\/span> positions, and a contrarian<\/span> view of forex<\/span> sentiment favors further strength.<\/p>\n \tTrade Implications – AUDUSD<\/span>: Our sentiment-based Momentum2<\/span> system has recently bought the Australian Dollar against the US Dollar on the sharp shift in retail sentiment, and our technical forecast for the AUDUSD<\/span> leaves us in favor of further short-term strength. Long interest is down a remarkable 48 percent in the past week, and the sharp swing gives us contrarian<\/span> signal that the Aussie may continue higher.<\/p>\n \n\tThe views expressed are not by association FNArena's<\/span> (see our disclaimer).<\/p>\n \n\tFor real time news and analysis, please visit http:\/\/www.dailyfx.com\/real_time_news<\/p>\n \n\tDailyFX<\/span> provides forex<\/span> news on the economic reports and political events that influence the currency market.
