Alternatively, support lies below at 0.9152, onto 0.9090, and 0.9016.

AUD/USD previous support now acts as resistance

According to Analyst Karen Jones at Commerzbank, “The AUD/USD has seen a massive acceleration on the downside towards the initial downside target of 0.9150/47, this is the 38.2% retracement of the move from 2008 to 2011. The previous major support at 0.9404/0.9388 (lows 2011 and the highs from 2009 and 2010) is now expected to act as resistance and while capped here the market will remain directly offered.”
