​​​AUD/USD pauses ascent

AUD/USD reached its 6 September $0.6767 high around which its advance is taking a breather. Further up lies the July peak at $0.6798. 

Minor support around the 22 August low at $0.6698 may act as potential support ahead of the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $0.6674 in case of a drop in the cross being witnessed.
