AUDUSD remains soft despite Tuesday’s bounce, with the pair extending the retracement from 0.7137, the Aug 11 high. The move lower last week resulted in a print below 0.6870, the Aug 5 low. Clearance of this level would undermine the recent bull theme and signal scope for a deeper pullback. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 0.7040, the Aug 16 high where a break is required to ease the current bearish pressure.
