FxWirePro: AUD/USD breaks below cloud top, bias lower, stay short

  • AUD/USD is extending downside for the 4th consecutive session, bias lower.
     
  • The pair has broken below daily cloud top at 0.7625 and has breached 50-DMA support at 0.7620.
     
  • Downside is holding immediate support at 0.7610 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.7160 to 0.7749 rally).
     
  • Technical studies are bearish, RSI and Stochs are biased lower and MACD is on the verge of a bearish crossover.
     
  • We see scope for test of trendline support at 0.7560, further weakness only on break below.
