AUD/USD Short-Term Technical Outlook

The AUD/USD pair maintains the sour tone, and could still fall to fresher lows below the 0.7700 level. The 4-hour chart shows that the pair is struggling to remain above a flat 200 SMA, but also that the 20 SMA has accelerated its decline above the current level. Technical indicators lack directional strength, holding within negative levels. The pair has met buyers at the bottom of its latest range, but the risk of a fresh leg south has increased.

 Support levels: 0.7690 0.7650 0.7620

Resistance levels: 0.7770 0.7820 0.7860
