Following a breakout of the mediate-term descending channel, the Aussie failed to accelerate against the US Dollar, thus resulting in a narrow movement sideways.  

The upward momentum was limited by the weekly PP near the 0.8040 mark, while the downside had been supported by the 55-hour SMA since mid-Friday. The former, however, was recently breached, thus reaching the lower boundary of a newly-drawn channel up. It is not yet clear if the given formation continues to confine the pair. 

Taking into account worsening technical indicators, traders might see a fall down to the 0.7970 mark. On the other hand, the greatest resistance is set by the 200-hour SMA near the 0.8020 mark which needs to be surpassed in order to confirm a possible up-trend. Up to now, the rate has failed to remain above this level.
