"Either the Australian dollar will fall of its own accord, or the RBA will need to cut rates to bring it down. The rate cut in early May was in part due to the resilience of the Aussie up until that point, with the future course of monetary policy remaining highly reliant on developments in foreign exchange markets." 
- Credit Suisse (based on The Australian)


Pair's Outlook

The Australian Dollar experiences huge capital outflow, as investors are afraid of a potential economic slowdown in the country, which might be seen through intensive money withdrawal from the economy. Today the price made a spike down, reaching a 0.96 benchmark, but positive U.S. unemployment numbers increased risk appetite of traders. The pair bounced from weekly S1 level at 0.9646 and currently fluctuates around a 0.97 benchmark. Opening short positions might be extremely risky, since the RSI has a value of 27.

Traders' Sentiment
Even though the price is stepping lower every day and settles a new bottom, traders' sentiments remain more or less the same, since they are based on the bullish side with a 73% share. Placed orders market is bearish, since 59% of orders are to sell the Aussie.
