On June 10, AUD/USD retreated to the current trading zone 0.6827 – 0.7015 then paused its upward trend and started a sideways move creating a lower high with a higher low.
A close above the high end of the zone indicates that AUDUSD could resume bullish price action towards the 0.7300 handle and any further close above that level may extend the rally towards 0.7414.
On the other hand, a close below the low end of the zone reflects bull’s weakness and may cause a selloff towards 0.6684. Any further close below that level could send the pair even lower towards 0.6409.
