EURUSD and AUDUSD rotate lower, 2nd September 2011

Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:

EURUSD

The EURUSD lost ground today for the fourth consecutive day. We can see price has rotated lower since making a false-break of resistance near 1.4500 ? 1.4550 on Monday.

We are seeing support coming in near 1.4100 ? 1.4000 and we will watch for daily price action strategies forming in this support area next week for a potential long setup in the context of this well-defined trading range, however, due to the recent sell-pressure we could also see a deeper move lower and so we would need to see an obvious reversal signal from support before considering any longs next week.

AUDUSD

The AUDUSD rotated lower today after finding resistance at the 1.0770 horizontal level; we can see this level has been significant in the recent past. We can see 1.0600 support coming in just below, and we could see possible long signals forming here, until then we see sell pressure below 1.0770 resistance area.
