  • After a 1.7% decline witnessed in the previous week, AUDUSD currency pair continued drifting lower since the beginning of this week and on Wednesday, the pair slipped below 0.8900 level to test August 2 closing low. In two weeks AUDUSD currency pair has given up all of its gains registered in the first week of August. The pair, however, witness a minor pull-back and is currently holding above the 0.8900 mark.
  • AUDUSD currency pair has not provided a weekly closing below 0.8900 since mid of August 2010 and thus, 0.8900 level could possibly determine the near-term direction of the currency pair.
  • Should the pair manage to hold 0.8900 on weekly closing basis, the pair could bounce back towards 50-day SMA, currently near 0.9100. Further, should the pair manage to provide daily close above 50-day SMA, it might continue strengthening in the near-term initially towards 0.9300 – 0.9310 strong resistance zone and further towards 0.9400 horizontal resistance zone. 0.9180 and 0.9240 area seems to provide intermediate resistance for the currency pair. 
  • Alternatively, should the pair fail to hold 0.8900 important closing on weekly basis, the pair could initially drop to 0.8800 – 0.8790 horizontal support and could even test sub 0.8700 level (0.8660 level) in the near-future.
