- AUD/USD picks up bids to pare short-term losses.
- Firmer oscillators back the recent bounce off nearby crucial DMAs, 13-day-old ascending trend line adds to the downside filter.
- Buyers need validation from a downward-sloping resistance line from mid-August.
AUD/USD bulls return to the table, after a three-day absence, as the Aussie pair prints the first daily gains around 0.6410 ahead of Tuesday’s monetary policy announcements from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).

In doing so, the AUD/USD prices rebound from a 10-DMA support, around 0.6380 at the latest. Also supporting the quote’s recovery are the bullish MACD signals and the steady RSI.
However, the upside room appears limited as a descending resistance line from mid-August, close to 0.6490, could challenge the bulls. Following that, the previous week’s peak of 0.6522 and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of August-October declines, near 0.6540, will be crucial to cross for the AUD/USD pair buyers to keep the reins.
Alternatively, a downside break of the 10-DMA support near 0.6380 isn’t a sure signal for the bear’s return as a convergence of the 21-DMA and a two-week-long support line, close to 0.6355, will be a tough nut to crack for the AUD/USD sellers before retaking the control.
Even if the quote breaks 0.6355 support, multiple supports around 0.6350, 0.6280 and 0.6230 could challenge the pair’s further downside.
