AUD regains momentum above 200-DMA

"AUD/USD successfully defended its 200-DMA in November and gradually broke above a descending trend line, triggering a steady upward move. The pair has now surpassed the upper boundary of its multi-month range, signalling a resurgence in upward momentum."

"If a brief pullback occurs, the recent pivot low near 0.6650 could serve as short-term support. The next objectives could be located at 0.6855/0.6870, followed by the 2024 high at 0.6940."
