Sellers could be trying to push prices at the lower bound of the upwards broken daily channel, but failure to do so reconfrims the Neutral Bias in the currency pair.

The current action is key for the future outlook – A re-entry within the channel would boost the technical aspect of the AUD.

A failure to re-enter points to more bearish action and failing to break neither the most recent lows (0.6420) or recent swing highs (0.6530) would lead to some consolidation, similar to what we have observed in other currencies like the CHF.

For now, it is essential to watch the reactions between 0.65 (current trading) and 0.65130 to spot if Sellers try to take the hand.
