AUD/USD Price Forecast: Eyes nine-day EMA support near 0.7200

  • AUD/USD may test the 0.7277, the highest since June 2022.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index of 60 indicates resilient bullish momentum without reaching overbought territory.
  • Initial support lies at the nine-day EMA at 0.7214.

AUD/USD loses ground after two days of gains, trading around 0.7240 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates that the pair is moving upwards within the ascending channel, suggesting an ongoing bullish bias.

The AUD/USD pair holds a constructive bullish bias as it stays above both the nine-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This positioning suggests the broader uptrend remains supported.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is around 60 points to firm but not overextended upside momentum, keeping buyers in near-term control as long as the price defends these moving average floors.

The AUD/USD pair may test the 0.7277, the highest since June 2022, recorded on May 6. A successful break above this level would support the pair to target the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 0.7460.

On the downside, the AUD/USD pair may test the nine-day EMA at 0.7214, followed by the lower boundary of the ascending channel around 0.7200. Further declines would expose the 50-day EMA at 0.7096. A break below the medium-term average would cause the bearish emergence and put downward pressure on the AUD/USD pair to navigate the region around the three-month low of 0.6833, which was recorded on March 30.
