AUD/USD Technical Analysis
After a major decline in the past few weeks, the Aussie Dollar finally found a strong support near the 0.7040 level against the US Dollar. The AUD/USD pair started a major upward move and climbed above the 0.7100 and 0.7200 resistance levels.
During the rise, the pair also broke the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last slide from the 0.7451 high to 0.7020 swing low. Besides, there was a close above the 0.7200 barrier and the 50-day simple moving average.

The pair failed to break the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level of the last slide from the 0.7451 high to 0.7020 swing low and later corrected lower.
However, the recent break above the 0.7250 level and the trend line suggests that the pair moved into a positive zone. Therefore, there are chances of more gains in the near term towards the 0.7400 level. If buyers remain in action, the pair could even test the 0.7530 level, which is near the 1.236 Fib extension level of the last slide from the 0.7451 high to 0.7020 swing low.
On the downside, the key supports are 0.7200 and 0.7180, below which the pair may decline back towards the 0.7100 level.
