The bears are lurking to fade rallies in the internal and external target areas. A downside target of 0.6750 is eyed that guards low-hanging fruit, LHF, below.''

AUD/USD H1 chart

The bears moved in on the target area but there could be more to come and the hourly chart offers an insight to the bearish bias as per critical levels drawn above. A break beyond 0.6700 while below the significant levels opens risk towards last week's lows.

However, we the higher volumes below will not make life easy for the bears. The path of least resistance may turn out to be to the upside on failed attempts to the point of control near 0.6680.
