AUDUSD

The Aussie extended recovery from 0.7329 double-bottom where weekly cloud base contained broader bearish action.

The pair tested daily Tenkan-sen barrier at 0.7435 after strong bullish acceleration on Monday took out pivotal barriers at 0.7406/13 (falling 10SMA / Fibo 38.2% of 0.7554/0.7372 downleg).

Recovery needs to extend above daily Tenkan-sen and also break above next pivots at 0.7461/67 (falling 20SMA / Fibo 38.2% of 0.7554/0.7372 downleg / daily Kijun-sen) to generate stronger bullish signal and sideline risk of limited correction and fresh downside, as overall structure is bearish.

Close above those barriers would signal stronger recovery towards 0.7500+ zone.

Otherwise, risk of lower top and fresh bear-leg would remain in play while recovery stays limited under 0.7461/67 pivots.

Res: 0.7440; 0.7467; 0.7500; 0.7554
Sup: 0.7406; 0.7383; 0.7364; 0.7329
