The AUD/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's strong move up and retreats slightly from the 0.7100 mark, or a nearly four-week high set during the Asian session this Tuesday. The downtick lacks any obvious catalyst and is more likely to be limited amid a combination of supporting factors.
The US Dollar (USD) has touched a fresh low since early March amid hopes that the door for Iran diplomacy remains open and that negotiations would continue. The optimism remains supportive of a positive risk tone, which, along with uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's (Fed) future interest rate moves, undermines the USD and acts as a tailwind for the AUD/USD pair. Adding to this, the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) hawkish stance validates the near-term positive outlook for the currency pair.
From a technical perspective, spot prices keep a bullish bias above the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 4-hour chart and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the March slide. Adding to this, the Relative Strength Index around 60 hints that bulls retain control without yet entering overbought territory. That said, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) flattens slightly below the zero line, suggesting that upside momentum is positive but not impulsive.
On the topside, immediate resistance is located at the 78.6% Fibo. retracement at 0.7111, ahead of the recent swing high near 0.7186. On the downside, initial support is seen at the 61.8% Fibo. retracement at 0.7052, followed by the 50% level at 0.7010 and the 200-period EMA at 0.6994. A convincing break below the latter would expose the 38.2% Fibo. retracement at 0.6969 and the 23.6% level at 0.6917 before the recent cycle swing low around 0.6834.
