AUD/USD rallies were sold into the Thursday close, with prices returning negative despite printing a new multi-week high at 0.6595. Further losses would see the bearish trend resume, confirming the latest bounce as corrective. Last Tuesday’s initial break lower reinforced the bearish theme. To the downside, sights rest on 0.6412, a Fibonacci retracement. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a clear, albeit weaker, downtrend. Key resistance to watch is 0.6625, the Jan 30 high. Initial resistance is at 0.6546, the 20-day EMA and a level pierced this week.
