AUD/USD Price Analysis: Breaks out of rising channel and moves lower
|- AUD/USD has broken out of a rising channel and reached an initial target.
- There is a possibility the short-term trend is now bearish and the pair may go lower.
AUD/USD has broken out of the rising channel and fallen to a preliminary target for the breakout, based on the Fibonacci 0.618 ratio of the height of the channel extrapolated from the breakout point lower.

The breakdown from the channel brings the short-term uptrend into doubt. If price now breaks below the 0.6592 day’s low it would help confirm the bearish trend and probably result in a continuation to the next downside target in the 0.6550-8 zone, where the 200 Simple Moving Average (SMA) is situated.
A recovery above the 0.6653 May 23 high, however, would suggest the uptrend was still intact and AUD/USD is likely to go higher.
