You may be asking yourself why I've been shorting AUD/USD near the low. Many people wrongly assume that if a market has gone done "to much" and for a long period of time, the market must reverse. Well that's not reason enough for you to assume the current down move is over, we have to look at facts rather than personal opinions. Trading in the direction of the trend is much more easier than fighting the trend. Although I already posted some fundamentals reasons behind the current aussie weakness, I would like to say them again, and this time we're going to look at technicals as well.

Now that we know the fundamentals lets look at the technicals as well (see Figure 1).

Previous big support level was at 0.9300 look how now is acting as resistance level, first we have sold hard into this level and manage to close below and since than market made a pause but now it seems it's ready to challenge the last swing low and let's hope it can break below that level.
