AUD/USD consolidates below 0.8800

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The AUD/USD remains steady in Asia consolidating below 0.8800 after posting the lowest daily close since August 2010. During the American session the pair bounced from fresh multi-year lows at 0.8731 and recovered ground, but if found resistance at 0.8775.

Recently the pair tested 0.8775 but failed to break higher and continues move in a consolidation mode, with short-term support at 0.8745. Jim Langlands from FX Charts, regarding the perspective for the coming hours affirms: “A return to the topside will find sellers at 0.8800 and then at 0.8820 and 0.8840. That looks unlikely today and in the absence of any data it could be a choppy session, driven largely by the equity markets”.

Yesterday the AUD/USD erased weekly gains and pulled back, falling below the price it had at the beginning of the week, reflecting an ongoing bearish pressure.
