AUD/USD Price Analysis: Longer-term 'Shorts' eye a run to June 2020 lows, 0.6776

AUD/USD bulls have stepped in below a critical support area.
However, bears are seeking a run to the June 2020 lows of 0.6776.

The daily chart is showing the price below key daily support, and prior lows, yet the prior day's doji means that there are prospects of a correction. The prior January daily lows are the first hurdle before the May 2 lows which guard a correction to the 38.2% Fibonacci level.

With that being said, a bullish engulfing candle in the next day or two would be required to confirm the corrective bias.

From a weekly perspective, however, the price is showing no signs of corrective behaviour and the focus is on mitigating the price imbalance between the 0.7000 figure all the way down to June 2020 lows of 0.6776.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
