The AUD/USD pair has extended its recovery after overstepping the immediate hurdle of 0.6416 in the Tokyo session. The commodity-linked currency has witnessed a decent buying interest as the US dollar index (DXY) has dropped sharply and has renewed the day’s low at 110.75.
Meanwhile, the S&P500 futures have regained their entire morning losses. The recovery in the risk-on profile is supporting the antipodean against the greenback.
On a four-hour scale, the cross has entered into the prior highest auction area, which is considered the recent most traded range. The balanced profile is plotted in a range of 0.6362-0.6544. Entry of the asset in the highest auction area indicates that the asset is challenging the inventory adjustment phase and a make-or-break move is expected ahead.
The asset has taken support at around the critical support of 0.6400, which was acting as resistance earlier.
The 20-and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 0.6448 and 0.6363 respectively are advancing, which adds to the upside filters.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has slipped into the 40.00-60.00 range. An upside momentum will get triggered once it will reclaim the bullish zone in a 60.00-80.00 range.
Going forward, a decisive break above October 4 low at 0.6451 will strengthen the aussie bulls. This will drive the asset towards October 4 high at 0.6548, followed by the round-level resistance at 0.6600.
On the flip side, a downside break of the October 20 low at 0.6229 will drag the asset toward the fresh two-year low at 0.6170 and April 2020 low at 0.5991.
