AUD/USD levels
"AUD/USD 1-3 month: The uncertainty generated by Brexit plus further RBA easing should be negative for the AUD during the months ahead. We target sub-0.72," offered the analysts at Westpac while Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet has explained on a shorter term view that, "Technically, the 1 hour chart shows that the price is now below a strongly bearish 20 SMA, at 0.7510, while the technical indicators have recovered from oversold levels, but lost upward strength within bearish territory."
"In the 4 hours chart, the decline stalled around the 200 EMA, with short live slides below it having been quickly reverted. Still, the price is far below a bearish 20 SMA, while the technical indicators are correcting oversold readings, but hold far below their mid-lines, indicating the decline may extend at least down to 0.7450."
