The Aussie Dollar remained well bid above the 0.6250 and 0.6260 levels against the US Dollar. As a result, the AUD/USD pair started a fresh increase and climbed above the 0.6320 resistance.

The upward move gained pace above the 0.6350 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more gains above the 0.6380 level.

Moreover, the pair traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the 0.6282 low to 0.6405 high. On the downside, there is a key support forming near the 0.6340 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average.
