- AUD/USD main bear trend remains intact as it is consolidating within Friday’s range as some market participants are booking some profits.
- AUD/USD is trading well below its 50, 100 and 200-day simple moving averages within a bear channel with the RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators in bearish territories. The main bearish target is seen at the 0.7000 figure.
- A sustained bull breakout above 0.7200 figure (August 15 low) would invalidate the bearish bias.
