What can we expect from AUDUSD today?

AUDUSD on Wednesday dropped -1.17% to 0.65440. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling in oversold zone.

Updated daily direction for AUDUSD looks bearish as the pair posted lower in Wednesday trading session.

Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at S1 0.65035 with break below could see further selling pressure towards S2 at 0.64631. To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 0.66300 as a potential indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below 0.65263 would indicate selling pressure.

For the week to-date, take note that AUDUSD is bearish as the pair posted lower by -1.55%.
