AUD/USD falls contrary to expectations

"The price [of AUD] is back into thick daily cloud (spanned between 0.7448 and 0.7651) after being unable to hold above the cloud. Daily studies are weakening and supportive for further easing, with 0.7585 seen as key point."

Pair's Outlook 
The Aussie continues to depreciate against the Greenback. The pair is currently trading within the bounds of a rising wedge in force since mid-November. Today, the Aussie has managed to breach an important support area consisting of the weekly PP, the lower Bollinger band, the 55-day SMA and the monthly PP. This downward motion indicates that the pair is set to test the lower wedge boundary at 0.7592, strengthened by the weekly S1. A breach of this pattern might direct the pair towards a sharp fall. Technical indicators, however, are more bullish. 

Traders' Sentiment 
Market sentiment is bearish, as 78% of today's traders are holding short positions. Nevertheless, 61% of all pending orders are set to buy the Aussie.
