AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Chipping away at the 100-day SMA resistance line

  • The AUD/USD is attempting a break above the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) hurdle of 0.7247, having bounced off strongly from the bullish (ascending) 20-day SMA of 0.7226 earlier today.
  • The strong bounce from the 20-day SMA has indeed neutralized the bearish outlook put forward by the rising channel breakdown witnessed on Nov. 20.
  • A bullish revival, however, would be confirmed above 0.73 (the neckline hurdle of the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern). That move could happen if the global equity markets trade on the offensive, as suggested by the 0.5 percent rise in the S&P 500 futures in Asia.
  • The daily MACD has diverged in favor of the bears. As a result, the probability of pair confirming bullish revival above 0.73 in the short-term is quite low.
