  • AUD/USD bears are moving in on the 4-hour chart. 
  • Weely structure is critical at this point and bears will note the resistance.

The focus is on the downside for a restest of the support near 0.7150. Below there, the bears could be encouraged to move to the longer-term charts and assess the landscape as follows:
