AUD/USD Chart Analysis
Despite the lower likelihood of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia, the AUD/USD is trending downward due to the steep rise of the U.S. dollar. The support level at 0.66000, where a rebound was anticipated, has been broken, and further decline towards 0.64000 is expected. However, as this may not yet be a bottom, a rebound around 0.64000 remains possible.
We’ll adjust our strategy quickly if there are unexpected movements.
