Looking at the daily chart, we notice on Friday AUD/USD rallied to a higher trading zone 0.6826 – 0.6904 eyeing a test of the high end of this zone.
Hence, a close above the high end of the zone could push AUDUSD towards 0.6984. However, the weekly resistance levels underscored on the chart (zoomed in) need to be considered. Further close above 0.6984 may lead the price towards 0.7082. In that scenario, the weekly resistance levels underlined on the chart need to be watched along the way.
On the flip-side, any failure in closing above the high end of the zone could reverse the pair’s direction and send it towards the low end. Further close below the low end might press AUDUSD towards 0.6744. However, the weekly support level and area marked on the chart would be worth monitoring.
