AUD/USD DAILY PRICE CHART (FEB 20 – April 27, 2020) Zoomed IN
Looking at the daily chart, we noticed that on Thursday AUD/USD rallied then closed above the 50-day moving average signaling a possible bullish comeback. On Friday, the market rallied further then closed above the downtrend line originated from the March 9 High at 0.6685 providing another bullish signal. Today, the price has climbed to a higher trading zone 0.6409 – 0.6684.
A close above the low end of the zone reflects a stronger bullish sentiment. This could cause a rally towards the high end of the zone. A further close above that level might extend the rally towards 0.6827. Although, the weekly resistance levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in ) should be considered.
On the flip side, a close below the low end of the zone highlights bull’s hesitation. That said, it would require more than one failure to conclude a weakening bullish momentum. In that scenario, AUDUSD may fall towards 0.6009. A further close below that level could send the price even lower towards 0.5796. Nevertheless, the daily and weekly support levels underscored on the chart would be worth monitoring.
