AUDUSD traded lower Wednesday, extending the retracement from last week’s high of 0.7137 (Aug 11). A continuation lower would expose support at 0.6870, the Aug 5 low. Clearance of this level would undermine the recent bull theme and also 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.
