Since December, AUD/NZD has already grown by 6.1% and its positive dynamics continues. Having broken the upper limit of the ascending channel on the weekly chart this week (at 1.1030), AUD/NZD is now testing the important resistance level 1.1060 (144 EMA on the monthly chart) for a breakdown.

As you can see, our forecast was completely justified. In case of breakdown of the local resistance level passing through 1.1108, we are waiting for testing of the resistance level near 1.1200, 1.1230.

A breakdown of the support level 1.0981 (200 EMA on the 1-hour chart) will be a confirming signal.
