Aussie managed to close above 0.80 threshold and new buying lifted it above yesterday's highs briefly in Asia earlier today.  However, there is a growing sense that the market has gone too far, and the 4% decline in iron ore prices provided the fodder for the profit-taking that has now pushed the Aussie below yesterday's lows.  Although the outside down day needs to be confirmed with a close below $0.7980, it is the kind of reversal pattern we have been anticipating.

 

The RSI was at multi-year highs and has turned down today.  The Slow Stochastics have not confirmed the new highs, leaving a minor bearish divergence in its wake.  As the Great Graphic posted above and created on Bloomberg shows, the MACDs are also poised to cross lower from elevated levels.
