### Recent Performance and Technical Landscape
**Price Movements and Key Levels**
– As of the latest reporting session, AUD/USD has seen a notable bounce from its near-term low of 0.6594, reaching up to resistance levels around 0.6709.
– Despite the rebound, the pair has failed to confirm a reversal into a sustained upward trend.
– The pivotal 0.6594 support remains a critical floor; a decline below this would signal a resumption of a broader corrective pullback from the previous 0.6713 high.
**Short-term Trend Analysis**
– The prevailing trend since AUD/USD’s recent peak at 0.6713 has been a consolidation with a slight bearish bias.
– The current momentum indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), lean towards continued short-term consolidation.
– Key resistance is positioned at 0.6709, just below the recent swing high. A clear break above this level would be needed to reassert strong bullish control.
**Long-term and Intermediate Structures**
– On the daily chart, AUD/USD remains within an upward channel that has been developing since mid-April, with the base trendline currently supporting the market around 0.6560-0.6590.
– The 55-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sits at 0.6622, providing both visual and practical support for the bulls.
– Overlapping Fibonacci retracement clusters also reinforce the current support band between 0.6590 (50% retracement of the 0.6361–0.6713 up leg) and 0.6560.
– A break below 0.6594, and especially 0.6560, would expose the next significant support at 0.6465 (61.8% fibo and previous swing low, May 1).
