AUD/USD Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Strategist; AUD/USD on TradingView
- Failure to hold within the opening range for September may push AUD/USD back towards the 0.6590 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) to 0.6600 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) region as it slips to a fresh monthly low (0.6648).
- A break/close below the 0.6510 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) to 0.6520 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) area brings the 0.6380 (78.6% Fibonacci retracement) to 0.6410 (50% Fibonacci extension) zone on the radar, with the next region of interest coming in around the August low (0.6349).
- Nevertheless, AUD/USD may attempt to retrace the decline from the August high (0.6824) if it manages to climb back above 0.6740 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) but need a breach above the 0.6810 (23.5% Fibonacci extension) to 0.6820 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) zone to open up the January high (0.6839).
