Aussie Currencies Technicals

AUD/USD continues to look a little heavy with it struggling at the 21-DMA ($0.9401) to start the new week. The $0.9322-65 region remains key support this week with bears needing a close below $0.9322 to confirm a break of the 55-DMA and rising daily channel base off 2014 lows. This would end bullish hopes and target the $0.9198-0.9268 region where 100 & 200-DMA’s are located. Bulls need a close above $0.9456 to retain control and target fresh 2014 highs.
