AUD/NZD double-bottom fails

According to FXWW founder Sean Lee, the AUD/NZD cross has failed to form a double low at around the 1.1645 level. “The double-bottom on the short-term charts had a neckline at 1.1725 but this level has failed to hold,” said Lee, adding: “This has slightly weakened the AUD bottom-pickers argument.”
