AUDUSD was pressured at the end of last week with the US Dollar gaining slightly making its largest weekly gain in over a month as investors eye rising bond yields as they continued to make bets on the US Federal Reserve's interest rate hiking path. This puts the downside in focus on the charts as follows:

The weekly rejection has also been in play with 0.6500 eyed.
