AUD/USD Price Analysis: Mildly bid inside bear flag, 0.7005 is the key

Monthly resistance line, 200-SMA also challenge bulls, RSI hints at further grinding towards the south.
November 2020 low acts as extra support before theoretical target near 0.6825.

AUD/USD struggles to extend corrective pullback from yearly low, retreats to 0.7015 heading into Monday’s European session. The Aussie pair portrays a short-term bearish chart pattern, called bear flag, on the 30-minute play, up 0.17% intraday at the latest.

It should be noted, however, that the RSI line hints at further consolidation of the prices before confirming the formation with a downside break of 0.7005 support.

Also adding to the downside filter is the November 2020 low near 0.6990.

If the quote drops below 0.6990, it becomes vulnerable, at least theoretically, to aim for the 0.6825 support level.

Meanwhile, recovery moves remain elusive below the upper line of the stated flag, near 0.7035 at the latest.

Additionally challenging AUD/USD buyers is a downward sloping trend line from December 01 and 200-DMA, respectively near 0.7050 and 0.7100.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
