The global financial landscape is ever-evolving, with various factors influencing currency movements. The dollar, being a linchpin in the global economic system, constantly attracts attention. 

In recent observations, it appears that the dollar is experiencing an upward trajectory, showing signs of potentially testing the resistance of a descending wedge pattern on the daily timeframe. This article delves into the current state of the dollar's rise and its potential path forward, shedding light on the significance of the pattern in question.

The AUDNZD Performance 

We can see a 10-month swing out of an area of consolidation creating a High on the weekly timeframe. Dropping down to a daily frame, support was at a price point of 1.07605. Currently trending at resistance level 1.08621 testing for a possible break to the upside.

The shorter timeframes have closed above the resistance but no follow-through has been since even though a breakout has occurred. The daily timeframe is where we see rejection, which becomes our area of approval as well. A close of a daily time frame above 1.08621 is our signal for buyers.

The target is at 1.10273, giving traders a total of just over 150 pips. Please note, this isn't financial advice, but support that can assist clients to make a more informed decision on their own. You must carefully apply risk management on a strict basis.
