Forex: AUD/USD holds bearish tone, looking for new range

By FXstreet.com March 17, 2011, 07:28:00 PM EDT

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Current price still hold a soft tone slighty below 0.9800. With the Aussie having fallen over 400 pips this week alone, "general consensus seems to be that we will find a new 400 pip trading range which we will slip into for an extended period, similar to the .9800/1.0200 previous range for Jan/Mar" explains Sean Lee at Forexlive.

Short term view, Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXstreet.com said: "Recovering above 0.9800, hourly indicators are still weak in the AUD/USD while price is capped below 20 SMA, suggesting the upside will remain pretty much limited, probably by the 0.9880 static resistance zone. 4 hours chart shows 20 SMA with a strong bearish slope, while price action also supports a bearish continuation for the upcoming hours, putting 0.9660 strong static midterm support at sight".

Support levels: 0.9800 0.9760 0.9710, Resistance levels: 0.9840 0.9880 0.9920
