AUDUSD Reversal Chart Formation (Oct 14, 2014)

A triple bottom can be seen, as price found support around the .8700 handle and is unable to head any lower for now.

With that, the pair could test the neckline of the pattern around the .8850-.8900 psychological levels. An upside breakout could confirm that more gains are in the cards. Take note that the chart pattern is approximately 200 pips in height, which suggests that the resulting uptrend might be at least the same size.

For now, the 100 simple moving average is acting as resistance for price action, yet stochastic and MACD are hinting at a pickup in buying momentum. A return in selling pressure could lead to a test of the .8700 support or perhaps a breakdown and continuation of the longer-term downtrend.

Event risks for this trade include the Chinese CPI and US retail sales release on Wednesday, which might indicate whether the correction is over or a reversal is likely to take place.
