AUDUSD Price Analysis: Bears hold the fort at a 50% mean reversion

AUDUSD bears are still in play on the hourly chart while below the 50% mean reversion level with 0.6400 the figure eyed.
Bulls are in the backside of the daily trendline which poses risks to the upside.

AUDUSD is trading at 0.6430, flat on the day and within a range of 0.6422 and 0.6436 following a volatile day on Wednesday. It is suffering a blow on the back of a strong US Dollar and yields that rallied due to a soft US Treasury auction. This comes ahead of the US inflation data that will be out today in the US session. Meanwhile, the price is technically meeting a key resistance following a retracement into the 0.6430s, rising from the overnight lows and a slide some 100 pips higher.

From a daily perspective, however, the price has been building a bullish outlook on the backside of the trendline, albeit now rubbing up against a new trendline resistance as illustrated above. However, the bearish engulfment could be problematic for the bulls while below 0.6500/16.

Meanwhile, the bears are still in play on the hourly chart while below the 50% mean reversion level and there are prospects of a downside extension to test 0.6400 the figure.
