AUD/USD Price Analysis: Multiple hurdles set to test bulls above 0.7000

  • AUD/USD renews intraday high during three-day recovery from multi-month low.
  • Clear break of weekly falling trend line favors buyers amid firmer RSI.
  • 13-day-old horizontal area comprising 100-SMA challenges buyers ahead of descending trend line from early April.
  • Previous resistance line, weekly support to test pullback moves.

AUD/USD picks up bids to refresh daily top around 0.7010 heading into Tuesday’s European session.

In doing so, the Aussie pair justifies the previous day’s break of a weekly descending trend line, as well as a firmer RSI (14).

However, multiple hurdles from April 28, as well as the 100-SMA, stand ready to challenge the AUD/USD bulls between 0.7030 and 0.7055.

Also acting as the short-term key resistance is a downward sloping trend line from April 05, close to 0.7115.

Alternatively, the resistance-turned-support line, around 0.6950 by the press time, puts a floor under the short-term AUD/USD pullback.

Following that, a one-week-old rising support line, near the 0.6900 threshold and the latest multi-month bottom around 0.6830, marked the last week, will be important to watch.
