AUDUSD – Bearish pressures
A Friday failure back from just below resistance at .7897 (from .7887) to push through supports in the .7816/15 area, resuming the intermediate term bearish theme and aiming lower again for Monday.
The September surrender of important .7805 support produced an intermediate-term bearish shift, BUT risk remains for an intermediate-term shift back to neutral above .7986.
For Today:
l We see a downside bias through .7800 for .7768; break here aims for .7731.
l But above .7887/97 opens risk up to .7940/45.
Intermediate-term Outlook – Downside Risks:
l We see a negative tone with the bearish threat to .7568, maybe towards .7331.
l Below here targets the .7155/41 area.
What Changes This? Above .7986 signals a neutral tone, only shifting positive above .8125.
