Key Quotes

“AUD/USD continues its descent following its July consolidation and still has the 2001-2018 uptrend line at .7191 in its sights. Between it and the May and December 2016 lows at .7161/46 we expect the currency pair to stabilize”.

“Should this not be the case, the May and December 2016 lows at .7161/46 could be reached as well”.

“Above the .7483 July peak would see a challenge of the .7676 June high and the .7644 200 day moving average”.
