The AUDUSD uptrend remains intact and recent weakness appears to have been a correction. Attention is on support at the 50-day EMA, at 0.6554. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement and expose 0.6527 once again (pierced), a Fibonacci retracement. For bulls, a stronger reversal higher would refocus attention on 0.6707, the Sep 17 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is 0.6628, the Sep 24 high.
