AUD/USD entered into a tumbling mode on Monday, after it hit resistance near the 0.7755 area. Yesterday, the fall drove the rate below the upside support line drawn from the low of February 2nd, as well as below the key support of 0.7620, marked by the lows of March 5th and 9th. That said, the pair hit support near the 0.7585 level and then it rebounded somewhat. In our view, the dip below the upside support line may have increased the chances for more declines in the short run.
The current recovery may continue for a while more, but the bears may recharge from below the aforementioned upside line and push the rate down for another test near the 0.7585 zone. If they manage to break it this time around, we may see a test at the 0.7565 barrier, marked by the low of February 2nd, the break of which may allow declines towards the 0.7515 territory, defined as a support by the low of December 22nd.
Taking a look at our short-term oscillators, we see that the RSI turned up and exited its below-30 territory, while the MACD, although below both its zero and trigger lines, shows signs of bottoming as well. Both indicators detect slowing downside speed and add to our view that the current recovery may continue for a while more before the bears decide to take back control.
In order to abandon the bearish case, we would like to see a recovery above the 0.7655 level. This would also take the pair back above the upside line drawn from the low of February 2nd. The bulls may then get encouraged to push the action towards the 0.7705 area, which acted as a strong support between March 15th and 22nd, where another break may carry extensions towards the crossroads of the 0.7755 hurdle, marked by Monday’s high, and the downside resistance line taken from the peak of February 25th.
