Key Quotes:
"The Aussie could not recover from the early week sell-off triggered by speculation of further economic slowdown in China, and is now technically bearish against 0.7240, a strong static resistance level. The country will release its AiG Performance of Services Index for December during the upcoming hours, which latest reading stands at 48.2.
If the report results below such level, the AUD/USD will likely extend its decline towards the 0.7100 level, where a daily ascendant trend line should halt the decline. Further falls below this last will confirm a longer term bearish trend and open doors for a retest of the 0.6900 level."
