AUD/USD Price Analysis: Attempts establishment above 38.2% Fibo retracement at 0.6920

  • Aussie bulls are aiming to sustain above 38.2% Fibo retracement around 0.6920.
  • Advancing 20-and 50-period EMAs add to the upside filters.
  • The RSI (14) has shifted into the 40.00-60.00 range after a mild correction.

The AUD/USD pair is attempting to hold itself above the crucial support of 0.6900 after a sharp decline in the initial hours of the Tokyo session. A rebound move by the aussie bulls seems firmer and many get strengthened further after overstepping 0.6920.

On a four-hour scale, the asset is focusing on surpassing 38.2% Fibonacci retracement (which is plotted from June 3 high at 0.7283 to July 14 low at 0.6680) at 0.6920. Earlier, the major failed to kiss the 50% Fibo retracement, which is placed at 0.6984.

The greenback bulls have attacked the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) near 0.6900. While the 50-EMA at 0.6867 is untouched from the past week. Advancing short-term EMAs add to the upside filters.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has slipped into a 40.00-60.00 range from the bullish range of 60.00-80.00. This doesn’t warrant a bearish reversal, however, the asset is facing a minor correction after printing a monthly high of 0.6977.

Should the asset overstep 38.2% Fbo retracement at 0.6920 firmly, aussie bull will regain its mojo and will drive the asset towards June 28 high at 0.6965. A breach of the latter will send the major towards the psychological resistance at 0.7000.

On the flip side, a steep fall below the round-level support of 0.6800 will strengthen the greenback bulls. This may decline the pair towards July 13 low at 0.6724, followed by July 14 low at 0.6680.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
