Looking at the daily chart, we notice on Nov 19 AUD/USD failed to rally to the higher trading zone, highlighting buyer’s hesitation at this stage. On the following day, the pair repeated its failure then closed below the 50 -Day average. This reversed its direction as buyers took profit and exited the market.
Thus, the pair remained in the trading zone 0.6753- 0.6826 entered on Nov 14. Currently, AUDUSD trades lower eyeing a test of the low end of the zone. A close below 0.6744 could persuade more sellers to join the market and press towards 0.6631. Although, this move could lose momentum at the weekly support levels underlined at the chart (Zoomed in) as some sellers may take profit at these points.
On the flip-side, any failure in closing below the low end would mean seller’s reluctance. This could lead the price to correct higher towards the high end of the zone. Further close above the high end could see AUDUSD pushing towards 0.6904. Nevertheless, the weekly resistance level underscored on the chart should be considered.
