AUD/USD technicals

Technically, in view of Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet: "The hourly chart shows price below its 20 SMA, and indicators flat in neutral territory, while in the 4 hours chart indicators turned south yet hold above their midlines. A break below 0.8820 should deny the possibility of more recoveries, and see the pair resuming its bearish trend, while sellers remain in the 0.8880/0.8920 zone."
