AUDUSD buyers had their shot today and missed. What next?

  • The AUDUSD attempted to break above resistance but failed, resulting in a pullback to a swing area. The currency pair needs to break below the lower end of the swing area to increase bearish bias or move back above the 100-day moving average to tilt the bias to the upside.

The AUDUSD moved off of swing-level support on the hourly chart at 0.6676 both yesterday and early in the Asian session today. After running up to test its falling 100-hour moving average and finding willing sellers, the traders regrouped and made a second attempt in the European session. That move extended above the moving average, but the buying effort failed.

The buyers had their shot. They missed.

As a result, the price has since rotated back down and has moved back into a swing area between 0.6676 and 0.6689. It would take a model below the lower end of that swing area to increase the bearish bias and have traders looking toward the 61.8% retracement of the December trading range. That level comes in at 0.6656.

On the topside, it would take a move back above the 100-day moving average at 0.6702 to tilt the bias back to the upside.
