AUD/USD Technical Analysis

The Aussie Dollar formed a strong support above 0.6840 and started a fresh increase against the US Dollar. The AUD/USD pair broke the 0.6890 resistance zone to move into a positive zone.

The pair gained pace, and managed to settle above the 0.6900 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. It traded as high as 0.6952 on FXOpen and it is currently correcting gains.

There was a short-term downward move below 0.6920, but the 0.6900 zone acted as a support. A low is formed near 0.6901 and the pair is currently rising. It broke the 0.36920 level, plus the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 0.6951 high to 0.6901 low.

An immediate resistance is near the 0.6932 level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 0.6951 high to 0.6901 low. If there is an upside break above 0.6932, the pair is likely to continue higher.

Moreover, it seems like there is a key rising channel forming with support near 0.6920 on the hourly chart of AUD/USD. On the upside, an initial hurdle is near the 0.6950 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a break towards the 0.7000 resistance.

Conversely, there is a risk of a bearish reaction below the 0.6910 level and the 50 hourly SMA. If the pair breaks the 0.6900 support, it could decline back towards the 0.6850 support area.

It traded below the 0.6520 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6443 low to 0.6537 high. On the downside, the 0.6500 area is acting as a strong support for the bulls.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6443 low to 0.6537 high is also near the 0.6490 level. Therefore, dips are likely to remain supported near the 0.6500 and 0.6490 levels.

On the upside, an initial resistance is seen near the 0.6530 level, above which NZD/USD might continue to rise towards 0.6550 or even 0.6585 in the near term.
