AUDUSD briefly tested levels just above the 50-day EMA earlier this week. The EMA intersects at 0.6708. A clear breach of this average is required to suggest scope for a stronger bounce and open 0.6772, Apr 20 high. On the downside, the key support to watch lies at 0.6565, the Mar 10 low. Clearance of this level would resume the downtrend that started on Feb 2 and pave the way for weakness towards 0.6547, a Fibonacci retracement point.
