AUD/USD Technical Breakout Potential
Technical Breakout Forecast for AUD/USD
In the second half of February trading, AUD/USD saw a modest rebound from its lowest levels since November last year to around 0.6580-95. The rebound stalled amid a test of the 200-day moving average (blue line) at the time as well. That considering the daily closes failed to breach the key technical level. But this week, buyers are looking to make a play as seen above.
Key Resistance and Support Levels
- The confluence of the 100 (red line) and 200-day moving averages is seen at 0.6560-63 currently.
- Price has broken past that point as buyers bid the pair to 0.6590 now, shifting the bias to being more bullish.
- Key resistance region of 0.6580-95 remains a challenge for a breakout.
- A push above the key resistance region will bring into focus the 61.8 Fib retracement level at 0.6606 next.
- Sellers will have to push price back below the confluence of the daily moving averages for downside potential.
