AUD/USD has moved below the 50-period SMA and tested the support at 0.6833. If this level is broken, a further fall will be limited by the 0.6810 level.

After the breakout of this level, the next resistance will lie at 0.6867. RSI is moving within the oversold zone, close to the oversold border.
- After the spike in the prices of crude oil due to the attack on the Saudi Arabian oil facilities during the weekend, the USD/CAD pair opened with a gap down on Monday. The pair managed to rise back to the 100- and 200- period SMA yesterday and formed a triangle. If the Canadian dollar is supported again by the rising oil prices, the pair will slide below the lower border of the triangle and 1.3235 level. In this case, the next support will lie at 1.3217.
