AUD/USD Price Analysis: Bounces off immediate support line towards 0.6750 ahead of US PMI

AUD/USD bounces off one-week-old descending support line after posting the first weekly loss in three.
RSI’s rebound from oversold territory adds strength to Aussie pair’s recovery hopes.
Previous support line guards immediate upside, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement acts as additional downside filter.

AUD/USD reverses from intraday low towards 0.6750 amid early Monday morning in Europe. In doing so, the Aussie pair recovers from the lowest levels in a week while bouncing off a one-week-old rising support line.

Apart from the short-term falling support line, the nearly oversold RSI (14) line also underpins bullish bias about the AUD/USD pair. However, the quote’s recovery needs validation from the previous support line from July 06, near 0.6750 by the press time. Adding strength to the 0.6750 hurdle is the 50% Fibonacci retracement of July 06-13 upside.

In a case where the AUD/USD price remains bullish past 0.6750, the 200-Hour Moving Average (HMA) surrounding 0.6800 and a downward-sloping resistance line from July 14, close to 0.6830 at the latest, will challenge the Aussie pair buyers before directing them to the previous monthly high of around 0.6900.

On the flip side, a downside break of the aforementioned immediate support line, close to 0.6715 by the press time, will need to break the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of around 0.6710, also known as the golden ratio, as well as the 0.6700 round figure to please AUD/USD bears.

Following that, a downward trajectory towards the late June swing low of around 0.6600 can’t be ruled out.

Overall, AUD/USD portrays a corrective bounce but remains on the bear’s radar at the start of the key week.

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold remains below $4,300 amid hawkish Fed, elevated US bond yields, and bullish USD

Gold struggles to capitalize on the previous day's modest rebound from the weekly low, trading below $4,300 during the Asian session on Friday amid a bullish US Dollar. The hawkish Fed, along with energy-driven inflation fears, lifts US bond yields to multi-year highs and helps the USD preserve its gains to a two-month high. This, in turn, acts as a headwind for the non-yielding bullion and warrants caution for bulls.

Crypto exchange Bitget hacked for over $350 million

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has been hacked for over $351 million after attackers compromised a few of its hot wallets.

Treasury announces second oversized bond buyback as it tries to put a lid on yields

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
