Testing the old support now turned into resistance

  • AUD / USD is recovering near key resistance.
  • A rejection in this region could invite increased selling pressure.

AUD / USD is trading near 0.7640 at the start of the European session on Monday, having hit a low of 0.7605 and a high of 0.7660 during the Asian session.

The pair is flirting with the lower end of a bearish channel, represented by trend lines connecting the lows of January 11 and 18 and the highs of January 6 and 14.

A convincing move back into the channel could trigger another consolidation move in the 0.7650-0.7750 range. However, a rejection at the current level, followed by a quick move below 0.7592, the low of Thursday’s candle, would imply a bearish turn. That would expose the rising low of 0.7462 created on January 21.

Looking up, the Jan 27 high of 0.7764 is the level to beat for the bulls.
