AUD/USD Analysis

This pair was already falling during the New York session and was pushed down further by disappointing economic data from Australia. The pair looks somewhat bearish now but much will depend upon the forthcoming news for both sides of this pair.

There is new support at 0.7915 that might be the first test of any attempt to drive down.
