AUD/USD remains on the back foot as it renews its intraday low near 0.6665, reversing the early-week rebound, as bears return to the table on Tuesday.

In doing so, the Aussie pair cheers the previous week’s downside break of a one-week-old ascending trend line, now resistance around 0.6725. The downside bias also takes clues from the bearish MACD signals and the steady RSI.

That said, the 100-DMA level surrounding 0.6660 challenges the AUD/USD bears by the press time, a break of which could quickly direct it to the November lows near 0.6580.

Should the AUD/USD bears keep the reins past 0.6580, October’s top near 0.6550 will be in focus.

On the flip side, a daily closing beyond the previous support line near 0.6725 becomes necessary for the AUD/USD buyers to retake control.

Even so, a downward-sloping resistance line from early June, close to 0.6870 by the press time, appears a tough nut to crack for the bulls.

It should be observed that the monthly high near 0.6895 and the 0.6900 round figure can act as extra upside filters before directing AUD/USD towards August month’s high near 0.7135.

Is Shiba Inu dead or just in a crisis? The data behind SHIB's 95% crash

SHIB, the dog-themed meme coin that became one of the biggest success stories in crypto and turned early buyers into crypto millionaires, is facing tough times. Its price has fallen more than 32% so far this year, and it is down 95% from its all-time high in 2021. Is SHIB simply another fading meme coin, or is the market overlooking a possible recovery story?

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
