The Aussie Dollar formed a strong support base above the 0.6000 level and recently started a solid upward move against the US Dollar. The AUD/USD pair broke the key 0.6200 resistance to move into a positive zone.
Moreover, there was a close above the 0.6250 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more gains above the 0.6300 level.
The pair traded as high as 0.6362 on FXOpen and it is currently consolidating gains. It tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.6195 low to 0.6362 high.

The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.6195 low to 0.6362 high. Therefore, the pair is likely to remain well bid above the 0.6300 and 0.6275 levels. Any further losses may perhaps lead the pair towards 0.6200.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near the 0.6350 level. A successful close above the 0.6350 level could open the doors for another lift-off and the pair might surge towards the 0.6400 and 0.6440 resistance levels in the near term.
