AUD/USD technical outlook

“In the 4 hours chart technical readings stand in neutral territory, giving not much clues on what’s next”, says Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXstreet. According to her a break below 0.9330, that is a strong static support area, “is required to confirm a bearish continuation, looking then for a test of 0.9250/60 price zone”.
