AUD/USD H1 chart

If the bears commit below 0.6670, where resistance meets a 78.6% Fibonacci, then there is a high possibility that the price could continue to deteriorate towards 0.6620 prior swing lows. If the bulls break above 0.6680, the bias will be back into their hands for a continuation of the bullish trend.
