  • AUD/USD bulls are moving back in, but remain in the bear's lair. 
  • AUD/USD bears need to get below 0.6875 should 0.6890 hold as resistance.

The doji followed by the bearish engulfing was a compelling formation that exposed the 61.8% Fibo of the prior bullish impulse that meets the prior resistance structure.

The price has since corrected to test the prior highs again but has failed to do so with conviction considering the tepid pace followed by a shape move to the downside.
