AUD/USD 4-hour chart

AUD/USD is in full consolidation mode at the moment. The key level now on the upside is the yellow horizontal line at 0.70. If the resistance breaks then the red high on the chart of 0.7064 could be the next target for the bulls. AUD has really been up against it at the moment. The COVID-19 cases are rising and relations with China are turning sour. This comes after the government offers citizens in Hong Kong eaier access to residency.

On the downside, the purple diagonal trendline could be a support zone. But the two main support areas are the horizontal lines at 0.69 and 0.6775. The Relative Strength Index is making a bullish failure swing. This is when the price makes a higher low wave but the Relative Strength Index makes a lower low wave. The MACD histogram is currently in the red but the signal lines are still above the mid-point which is a bullish sign.

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.
