AUDUSD was recovering from its lowest level since November.
-
But is on the retreat again as 200-day SMA repels advance.
-
Momentum indicators are tilted to the downside.
AUDUSD had been in a steady decline after peaking at 0.6870 in December, violating both its 50- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). Although the pair managed to find its feet and rotate back above its descending trendline, it has been losing ground again following its repeated rejection at the 200-day SMA.
Should the pair extend its slide, the February support of 0.6467 could act as the first line of defence. A break below that level might pave the way for the 2024 bottom of 0.6441. Sliding beneath that floor, the pair may descend towards the August low of 0.6363.
On the flipside, bullish actions could propel the price towards 0.6525, a region that provided both support and resistance in recent months. Further advances could then cease at the recent peak of 0.6593 ahead of the January resistance of 0.6623. Even higher, the pair may challenge the 0.6689 hurdle.
In brief, AUDUSD has begun a new round of weakness following its persistent inability to claim the 200-day SMA.

Ethereum face rejection at $2,817 despite Ethereum Foundation's $120 million DeFi move
Ethereum is down 1% on Thursday after experiencing another rejection at the $2,817 support level. The Ethereum Foundation's capital allocation to several decentralized finance protocols failed to catalyze ETH's price as the crypto market remains subdued by macroeconomic factors.

Tariffs likely to impart a modest stagflationary hit to the economy this year
The economic policies of the Trump administration are starting to take shape. President Trump has already announced the imposition of tariffs on some of America's trading partners, and we assume there will be more levies, which will be matched by foreign retaliation, in the coming quarters.
