AUD/USD technical view

“AUD/USD is not far from the 0.7200 level, and the 1 hour chart presents a mild negative tone, as the price develops below a bearish 20 SMA, whilst the technical indicators remain in negative territory, slowly turning south”, said Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet. “In the 4 hours chart, the price is below its 20 SMA and its 200 EMA, in the 0.7190/0.7200 region, while the technical indicators are turning higher around their mid-lines, lacking clear strength but limiting chances of a downward extension, as long as the price holds above the daily low”.
