Australian Dollar: USD/AUD (AUD=X) wedge breakdown points to further downside AUD/USD looks to have broken down from its recent rising wedge pattern, with the break below $0.7112 providing a signal of potential impending downside from here.

Australian Dollar: USD/AUD (AUD=X) rebound could provide selling opportunity AUD/USD is regaining ground, following the failure to create a new low below $0.7044.
