AUD/USD Technical Analysis

The Aussie Dollar formed a strong support above 0.6600 and started a fresh increase against the US Dollar. The AUD/USD pair broke many hurdles near 0.6750 to move into a positive zone.

The upward move was such that the pair settled nicely above the 0.6800 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. It even traded towards the 0.7000 level and formed a new monthly high at 0.6987 on FXOpen.

Recently, there was a short-term downside correction from the 0.6987 high. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6882 low to 0.6987 high.

However, the decline was protected by the 0.6930 level. It seems like the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6882 low to 0.6987 high is acting as a strong support.

There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near 0.6930 on the hourly chart of AUD/USD. If the pair fails to stay above the trend line support and the 50 hourly simple moving average, there is a risk of a sharp downside correction towards the 0.6850 support level.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the 0.6980 and 0.7000 levels. If AUD/USD settles above the 0.7000 resistance zone, there could be a sustained upward move towards the 0.7050 and 0.7080 levels in the near term.

NZD/USD Technical Analysis

The New Zealand Dollar also followed a similar path and climbed higher nicely from the 0.6200 support zone against the US Dollar. The NZD/USD pair broke many key hurdles near the 0.6300 level to move further into a positive zone.

The pair even settled above the 0.6400 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. A new monthly high is formed near 0.6478 and the pair is showing signs of more upsides in the near term.

If there is a downside correction, an initial support is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6403 low to 0.6478 high at 0.6460.

The first major support is seen near the 0.6440 level. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at 0.6440 on the hourly chart of NZD/USD. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6403 low to 0.6478 high.

Below the trend line, the next support is near the 0.6425 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. Any further losses may perhaps call for an extended decline towards the 0.6380 support zone.

On the upside, an initial resistance is seen near the 0.6480 level, above which NZD/USD might attempt to surge above the 0.6500 resistance zone.
