At the time of writing, AUD/USD is up 0.6% on the day and has traveled from a low of 0.6606 to a high of 0.6668 so far. While pressured below the 200-DMA, AUD/USD is now trading on the backside of the trendline but is yet to break the 0.6700 key resistance level.

There is a price imbalance to the downside, greyed area, but so long as the bulls commit to the 0.6580s then there will be prospects of a move to test 200 DMA and 0.6780 as the accumulation process kicks in.
