We hold firm to our bullish outlook on the AUD-USD. We see the pair forcing upside momentum since it halted its corrective weakness at 0.9650.

Its present upside offensive leaves risk towards the 1.0002 level with a break of there before resuming its long-term uptrend towards the 1.0100 and 1.0200 levels, all representing its psycho levels.

Its daily stochastics is bullish and is pointing higher, supporting this view. On the downside, support starts at its Oct 25, 2010 high at 0.9853 level with a cut through there aiming at further declines towards the 0.9660 level, representing its Oct. 20, 2010 low.

Further down, there are supports at the 0.9540 level, its Oct. 5, 2010 low, the 0.9467 level and then its 2009 high at 0.9404. The latter level should reverse roles and provide support if tested thus turning the pair higher again.

Overall, the longer- term risk remains higher towards the 1.0002 level and beyond.
