FXstreet.com (Buenos Aires) – Australian dollar is losing big this Thursday, being among the worse performers of the day, as the pair is trading below 1.0080, after reaching a daily high of 1.0202. Approaching the weekly low set on Monday at 1.0055, the strong fall in gold, that trades at the time being near $ 1575, down $ 30 on the day, along with US indexes falling into deep red, keep the AUD/USD under selling pressure.

According to Valeria Bednarik, FXstreet.com chief analyst the pair failed at a key, level of 1.0220, 50% retracement of the 1.0855/0.9560 daily slide, which suggests the pair may attempt to resume its bearish trend. With the 8.2% retracement of the same rally at 1.0060 and the weekly low right below, a break below such area should open doors for further slides towards 0.9900 according to her view. Resistances from current level come at 1.0100 and 1.0135.
