AUD/USD creeping closer to 0.8700 resistance
FXStreet (Moscow) - AUD/USD is getting closer to 0.8700 resistance level after having touched the low at 0.8652; the upside potential is limited during quiet Asian hours
Ripe for correction
AUD/USD finished the forth week in decline. After a short-lived attempt to climb above 0.8800 level, the pair dropped well below 0.8700 and settled at 0.8672. During the previous week the Aussie sell-off was caused mainly by external factors, such as unexpectedly strong US Non Farm Payroll report published on Friday. Ahead looks like a quiet calendar, so Aussie might have a chance for an upside correction towards the nearest resistance at 0.8700-0.8736. While AUD/USD is deeply oversold from the technical point of view, strong bullish movement is unlikely ahead of RBA’s monetary policy decision on Tuesday.
