As shown on the accompanying AUD/USD daily chart, the exceptionally steep downtrend resistance line that has been in place on the pair since late July is still valid and respected as of Friday morning in New York. The bullish correctional bias that has been in effect yesterday and the early part of today so far, is nudging price ever closer to the downtrend resistance line. Currently, this trendline resistance resides around the 0.8200-0.8220 region. On the downside, support continues to reside around the 0.7900 level.
