AUD / USD pair

The decline in prices for most commodities increases the pressure on the Australian currency, which was observed yesterday. Oil, copper, as well as, coffee and sugar fell by 2.48%, 0.36% and more than 1.0%, respectively. On both daily and the four-hour charts, the downward trend is fully maintained, which allow us to consider the option of fixing below the price channel line at 0.7043 as the main one. However, the reversal of the Marlin signal line on H4 can speak of a maturing correction. If it happens, it is unlikely that the price can go above the range of 0.7118 / 50, where the price consolidated in the 1st and 3rd decade of January.

After completion of the correction when it takes place, it is ideal to wait for the price on the downstream line of the price channel in the area of 0.6920.
