AUD/USD Technical Analysis Aussie Dollar US dollar

It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.6886 low to 0.6938 high. However, the 0.6910 support is acting as a strong buy zone.

Moreover, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near 0.6910 on the hourly chart of AUD/USD. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.6886 low to 0.6938 high is also near the 0.6910 level.

Therefore, a downside break below the 0.6910 support might start a substantial downside correction. The next support is near the 0.6900 level. However, the main support could be 0.6875 and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the 0.6935 and 0.6940 levels. A successful break above the 0.6940 resistance area could start a strong upward move in the coming sessions towards 0.7000.

Finally, the pair rallied above the 0.6620 level and a high was formed near the 0.6635 level. Recently, the pair corrected lower below 0.6620. It also broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.6574 low to 0.6635 high.

However, the 0.6605 and 0.6600 support levels are acting as strong buy zones. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the 0.6574 low to 0.6635 high is also near the 0.6605 level.

Therefore, a downside break below the 0.6600 support might push the pair further lower towards the 0.6575 support.

On the upside, the pair is facing hurdles near 0.6630 and 0.6635 levels, above which the bulls are likely to aim the 0.6660 level in the near term. The next key resistance could be near the 0.6680 level.
