The AUD/USD dropped to a nine-day low of 0.6701 and extended its losses to four straight days, courtesy of broad US Dollar (USD) strength across the board. US economic data revealed on Wednesday, alongside the release of “hawkish” meeting minutes by the Federal Reserve, kept the pair downward pressured, trading at around 0.6724 and losing close to 0.50%.

The daily chart portrays the pair printed a three-dark-crowds chart pattern, which found support at around the 0.6700 figure. Since reaching that level, the AUD/USD trimmed some of its losses, at the same time the 50-day moving average (DMA) approaches the 200-DMA to form a golden cross. In that outcome, the pair could resume its uptrend and test the 0.6800 figure, followed by December’s monthly high of 0.6871. A breach of the latter will expose the 0.6900 mark.

On the flip side, if the AUD/USD stays below 0.6800, that could open the door to test the 0.6700 figure. Once surpassed, the next support would emerge at 0.6650, followed by the confluence of the 50 and 200-DMAs at around 0.6576/82.
