​AUD/USD fails to overcome resistance

​​On Tuesday AUD/USD failed to break through its $0.6644 to $0.6667 resistance area on a daily New York closing basis and reach its current May peak at $0.6714. Instead it gave back recent gains and now looks to be short term under pressure.

​​Minor support below $0.6644 is seen at the $0.6629 mid-May high.
