In a 61.85 Fibonacci retracement, AUD/USD is testing the bearish commitments near the 0.73 figure following heavy buying on Thursday. Bulls are moving in on the 0.7320 resistance and near to the 21-day moving average and the summer support.

The 21 or the 50-day moving averages would be expected to be tough resistance and failures would likely lead to a downside continuation for the coming days.

The following illustrates the structure of the market on the daily and 4-hour time frames.
