AUDUSD rebound appears overdue on RBA rate hike dayAUDUSD holds onto its bounce off a downward sloping support line from late January, as well as the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of April-June moves as traders await the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) third rate hike. Nearly oversold RSI also hints at the quote’s further recovery, in addition to the hawkish hopes from the Aussie central bank. The upside momentum, however, remains elusive unless crossing the late January swing low surrounding 0.6965-70. Also likely to challenge the pair buyers is the 50-day EMA level of 0.7050 and the 200-day EMA close to 0.7210. In a case where the quote rallied beyond 0.7210, the odds of its run-up beyond June’s top of 0.7282 can’t be ruled out. On the contrary, the 61.8% FE level, near 0.6770, precedes the aforementioned support line from January, around 0.6750, to limit the short-term downside of the AUDUSD pair. Should the pair stays on the back foot below 0.6750, the March 2020 high near 0.6680 will act as the last defense for the pair buyers, a break of which won’t hesitate to drag the prices towards the April 2020 peak of 0.6569. Overall, AUDUSD is likely to witness a corrective pullback and the RBA’s rate hike could serve the purpose. However, the Fed Minutes and US NFP may keep sellers hopeful and hence the pair buyers need to remain cautious.

AUDUSD keeps door open for bears targeting 0.6800Despite the recent rebound, AUDUSD holds onto the downside break of fortnight-old support amid an absence of oversold RSI, which in turn hints at the pair’s likely to rush towards refreshing yearly low. However, the latest bottoms surrounding 0.6850 and 0.6830 may act as intermediate halts during the fall. That said, the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of June 03-16, at 0.6800, will be in the spotlight. In a case where the quote remains bearish past 0.6800, the late 2018 lows near 0.6745 could become a buffer before directing the bears towards the 2019 trough close to 0.6670. Meanwhile, the corrective pullback may poke the support-turned-resistance line from mid-June, at 0.6900 by the press time, a break of which could escalate the recovery towards the weekly resistance line close to 0.6955. It should be noted, however, that the 100-SMA and the 200-SMA, respectively near 0.6990 and 0.7035, could challenge the AUDUSD bulls afterward. Should the prices rally beyond 0.7035, the June 16 peak of 0.7069 might act as the last defense for bears. To sum up, AUDUSD has already flashed a bearish signal to refresh yearly lows, mainly due to its risk-barometer status.

AUDUSD funnels down to a weekly triangle breakout AUDUSD gyrates inside the one-week-old symmetrical triangle after the RBA Minutes and Governor Philip Lowe’s speech. Given the RBA’s hawkish bias and recently firmer RSI, the Aussie pair is likely to cross the stated triangle to the upside, which in turn highlights 0.7015 as immediate resistance. However, the 200-SMA level surrounding 0.7065, as well as the early June swing low near 0.7140, will act as important hurdles afterward. Should the quote manage to stay firmer past 0.7140, an upside towards the 0.7200 threshold and then to the 0.7230 resistance level can’t be ruled out. Meanwhile, AUDUSD bears await a clear downside break of the aforementioned triangle’s lower line, around 0.6920 by the press time. Following that, the monthly low near 0.6850 and May’s bottom of 0.6828 could gain the seller’s attention. In a case where the quote drops below 0.6828, the downside momentum may aim for late 2019 lows close to 0.6680-75. Overall, the AUDUSD eyes to consolidate the previous two-week downtrend but a clear break of the 0.7015 support is necessary for the pair’s advances.
