The AUDUSD trend condition is bullish and the recent move lower appears to be a correction. Price remains above key support at 0.6629, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average would be seen as a bearish development and signal scope for a deeper retracement. 0.6851, the Dec 5 high is the bull trigger. A break would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open 0.6909, a Fibonacci retracement.
