​​​AUD/USD topped out

AUD/USD's drop through its 22 August low at $0.6698 confirms a medium-term top formation with the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $0.6616 being eyed. 

Minor resistance sits at Wednesday's $0.6686 low and further up at the 22 August low at $0.6698. More significant resistance can be spotted at Friday's $0.6767 high. While below it, downside pressure should dominate.
