AUDUSD Price Analysis: Eases below 0.6500, inverse H&S in focus

  • AUDUSD retreats from one-week-old horizontal resistance but keeps bullish Head-And-Shoulders formation intact.
  • 50-SMA defends buyers before the latest swing low, bullish MACD signals favor upside momentum.
  • Sustained break of 0.6515 appears necessary to confirm a rally.

AUDUSD snaps a two-day uptrend as it refreshes intraday low near 0.6470 during early Tuesday in Asia.

That said, the Aussie pair’s latest weakness could be linked to the quote’s failure to cross a one-week-old horizontal resistance near 0.6495-90.

However, the inverse Head-And-Shoulders bullish chart pattern joins the upbeat MACD signals to keep the AUDUSD buyers hopeful.

Even so, a successful break of the stated bullish chart pattern’s neckline, near 0.6515, appears necessary for the bulls to aim for September’s high near 0.6920. It should be noted that multiple hurdles surrounding 0.6550 could test the AUDUSD bulls between 0.6920 and 0.6515.

On the flip side, a sustained break of the 50-SMA support, around 0.6405 by the press time, becomes necessary for the AUDUSD bear’s conviction.

Following that, a one-month-old ascending support line, near 0.6285, will precede the monthly low near 0.6270 and the yearly bottom surrounding 0.6170 could gain the market’s attention.

Overall, AUDUSD remains on the bull’s radar but a clear break of 0.6515 appears necessary for the pair buyers to cheer the recent advances.

EUR/USD looks sidelined around 1.1850

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, extending its bearish tone and sliding towards the 1.1850 area to print fresh daily lows on Monday. The move lower comes as the US Dollar gathers modest traction, with thin liquidity and subdued volatility amplifying price swings amid the US market holiday.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold loses momentum, eases below $5,000

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise

Ripple is trading in a narrow range between $1.45 (immediate support) and $1.50 (resistance) at the time of writing on Monday. The remittance token extended its recovery last week, peaking at $1.67 on Sunday from the weekly open at $1.43.
