Stop:-

Although aussie has slipped again after meeting resistance at 0.7556 earlier today and test of indicated support at 0.7473 cannot be ruled out, break there is needed to retain bearishness and signal recent decline from 0.7750 has resumed and extend weakness to 0.7450-55 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 0.7158-0.7750) but reckon downside would be limited to 0.7380-85 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) and 0.7350 should hold, risk from there is seen for a rebound later.

On the upside, expect recovery to be limited to 0.7555-60 and price should falter well below resistance at 0.7592. Above 0.7592 would bring test of indicated previous resistance at 0.7611 would signal low has been formed at 0.7473, bring a stronger rebound to 0.7650 but resistance at 0.7680 should hold from here, price should stay well below 0.7700-10, bring another decline later. As near term outlook is still mixed, would be prudent to stand aside in the meantime. 

On the 4-hour chart, the move from 0.8066 is the wave 5 with i: 0.8860, ii: 0.8315, wave iii is an extended move ended at 1.0183, iv: 0.9706 and wave v has ended at 1.1081 (also the top of entire wave 5). The subsequent selloff is the major correction which is unfolding as ABC-X-ABC and 2nd A leg has ended at 0.8848, followed by a-b-c wave B which ended at 0.9758, hence, 2nd C wave is now in progress and indicated downside target at 0.7000 and 0.6950 had been met, so further fall to 0.6710-20 cannot be ruled out.
