Will the Aussie hold the ground?

AUD/USD was a big winner last week as it gained nearly 200 pips. What a great achievement for the currency that was regarded as a lame duck of the developed world! All of a sudden the RBA decided that the Aussie is weak enough, and that depreciating tendency had a bad impact on price stability. Emerging market storm calmed a bit and that was also Aussie positive. China publishes new loans and money supply data which is highest importance for the Australian economy dependent on export to China. If these reports confirm that the economy of the Asian Dragon is cooling down the Aussie may tumble at least to0.8925 and may be 0.8900. If this support is broken, the pair will accelerate to 0.8875. The resistance at 0.9000 will limit the upside on the intraday level.
