AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Aussie under pressure near 0.7050 support as bears are looking at the 2018 lows

  • AUD/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.
  • AUD/USD bears are rejecting the 0.7100 figure along with the 50 and 100-period simple moving average. The path of least resistance is to the downside suggesting that a break of the 0.7050 support might lead to a retest of the 2018 low at the 0.7020 level.  
  • A break above 0.7100 on a daily closing basis would invalidate the bearish bias.
