AUD/USD Price Analysis: Distribution and spring set, or bullish continuation?

  • AUD/USD breakout traders target 0.70 the figure and above.
  • Failures to hold in 0.7000 could lead to the capitulation of the bulls.

The trapped higher time frame breakout traders would be squeezed, forced to cut positions and adding to a fast capitulation of the bulls and leading to a downside breakout below 0.6870 key structure. 

Such a move could even see a continuation towards last week's lows:
