AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Aussie rejecting 0.7144 resistance can lead to a breakdown below 0.7100 level


content provided with permission by FXStreet

  • AUD/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average. 
  • AUD/USD is currently rejecting the 0.7144 resistance and there seems little in the way for the market to test 0.7085 (September 11 low). The RSI and MACD are decelerating while the Stochastic indicator is pointing upward.
  • A break below 0.7085 can potentially open the gates to 0.7041 October low.
