- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Pending Short
- Make-Or-Break Moment Ahead On Test Of Range-Bottom

This sets the Aussie up for a make-or-break moment as it drifts towards its range-bottom at 0.9210. A daily close below the nearby barrier would pave the way for a sustained decline to the 0.8990 mark.
