We also indicated that 'to maintain the momentum buildup, AUD must hold below 0.6520 (‘strong resistance’ level).' After dropping to a low of 0.6419 on Friday, AUD rose sharply, reaching a high of 0.6493. Downward momentum is slowing, a breach of 0.6520 would indicate AUD is not breaking below 0.6405."
