The Australian Dollar (AUD) continues to face selling pressure against the US Dollar (USD), with AUD/USD trading near 0.6480 during Tuesday’s session. A sharp decline in early Asian trade has intensified downward momentum, increasing the probability of a break below the key support level at 0.6440. However, sustaining a foothold below this level remains uncertain, with further confirmation needed for a move toward 0.6400.
Short-term outlook: Momentum builds for a potential break
AUD/USD experienced a sharp decline after failing to sustain gains above 0.6500 in recent sessions. Downward momentum has built significantly, driven by a breach of the 0.6470 "strong support" level, which signals fading upward momentum.
In the immediate term, the pair faces resistance at 0.6510, with minor resistance near 0.6490. A sustained break below 0.6440 would confirm the bearish outlook, but initial moves below this level may struggle to hold as momentum remains in its early stages.
Medium-term view: A sustained break needed for deeper losses
UOB Group’s analysts suggest that while downward momentum is increasing, it is not yet robust enough to signal a prolonged decline. To confirm a move toward 0.6400, AUD/USD must decisively break and hold below 0.6440 in the coming sessions. The likelihood of this scenario improves if the pair remains capped below 0.6525, the critical level that would negate the bearish bias. Conversely, any recovery above 0.6525 would signal a fading of bearish momentum and a potential shift back toward consolidation.
Technical levels to watch
Immediate resistance:
Minor resistance lies at 0.6490. Key resistance is positioned at 0.6510, with a breach of this level weakening bearish momentum.
Support levels:
Immediate support is at 0.6440, a critical level that must be breached for further downside. Below 0.6440, the next target is 0.6400, representing a key medium-term objective for bears.
Strategic implications
The bearish trend remains intact, but the sustainability of downward momentum depends on a confirmed break below 0.6440. Traders eyeing short positions should monitor for sustained price action beneath this level, while any recovery above 0.6510 could prompt caution and signal a potential reversal.
With the AUD/USD pair trading within a tight range near critical support levels, the next few sessions will likely determine whether the pair can sustain its bearish trajectory or revert to consolidation. Investors should remain vigilant for broader USD dynamics and any external catalysts influencing market sentiment.
