AUD/USD Price Analysis: Hurdles 200-DMA and turns bullish, eyeing 0.6600

  • AUD/USD gains 0.34% on positive sentiment, defying a negative housing market report impact.
  • Neutral bias with an upside tilt; breach of 200-DMA at 0.6579 may target 0.6600 and 0.6639.
  • Downside risks include 200-DMA at 0.6579 and the January 17 low of 0.6523 before testing 0.6500.

The Australian Dollar (AUD) registers solid gains from the US Dollar (USD) amid an upbeat market mood following the release of an improvement in consumer sentiment and a bad housing market report. At the time of writing, the AUD/USD exchanges hands at 0.6373, gains 0.34%.

The daily chart portrays the pair as neutral biased, though tilted to the upside, after breaking above the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 0.6579. Further upside is seen at 0.6600, followed by the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 0.6639. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the January 12 cycle high at turned resistance at 0.6728.

For a bearish resumption, AUD/USD first support would be the 200-DMA at 0.6579, followed by the January 17 daily low of 0.6523. A drop below that level, and sellers could challenge the 0.6500 figure

De-dollarisation by design: Gold’s partner in the new system

You don’t need another 2008 for the system to reset. You just need enough nations to stop settling trade in dollars. And that’s already happening. "If gold is the anchor, what actually moves value in a post-dollar world?” It’s a question most gold investors overlook. We think in terms of storage and preservation, but in the new rails being built, settlement speed matters just as much as soundness of money.
