The AUD/USD pair is recovering its recent losses registered in the previous session, trading around 0.6700 during the European hours on Wednesday. The daily chart’s technical analysis indicated a weakening bullish bias as the pair is positioned slightly below the ascending channel pattern.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 56.32 is neutral and firming, confirming improving momentum. As long as RSI holds above 50, the pair could maintain the uptrend. Additionally, the AUD/USD pair holds above the rising 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The nine-day EMA is trending higher, keeping the near-term bias positive.

On the upside, a rebound within the ascending channel would improve the bullish bias and help the AUD/USD pair to target 0.6766, its highest level since October 2024. A decisive break could open a continuation higher toward the upper boundary of the ascending channel near 0.6880.

The immediate support lies at the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of 0.6698. A close below the short-term average would undermine the tone and expose the mentioned support at the 50-day EMA at 0.6636. Further losses would open the downside toward 0.6414, the lowest since June 2025.
