Australian Employment Change release is considered as a high impact report as the job’s market have a direct influence over the entire economy, which in turn affects inflation, and inflation will affect future RBA monetary policy.  With RBA on a pause for further monetary tightening policy, if this release also surprise to the downside, it would push AUD beyond current support and we would be looking to SELL AUD/USD; however,  if the release is better, we should be looking to SELL AUD/USD from the top as a longer term trade as AUD may not have enough momentum to remain strong.
