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.
