AUD/USD Price Analysis: Corrective bounce remains elusive below 0.6700

AUD/USD picks up bids to recover from fortnight-old horizontal support to snap two-day downtrend.
Short-term resistance line, 200-HMA prod immediate upside even as RSI rebound, bullish MACD signal favor intraday Aussie buyers.

AUD/USD refreshes intraday high near 0.6665 as it bounces off short-term key support to print the first daily gains in three amid early Monday. In doing so, the Aussie pair also justifies the RSI (14) line’s rebound from the oversold territory.

It’s worth noting, that the bullish MACD signals also favor the AUD/USD pair’s U-turn from a two-week-old horizontal support zone surrounding 0.6640.

However, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s run-up from April 28 to May 10, close to 0.6670, precedes a downward-sloping resistance line from May 10, near 0.6680 at the latest, to restrict short-term AUD/USD rebound.

Even if the AUD/USD pair rises past 0.6680, the 200-HMA and a horizontal area comprising multiple levels marked since May 05, close to 0.6750, can challenge the buyers before giving them control.

Alternatively, a downside break of the aforementioned horizontal support near 0.6640 won’t hesitate to challenge the late April swing low of around 0.6575.

Following that, the yearly low marked in March around 0.6565 may act as an extra filter towards the south.

Overall, the AUD/USD pair is likely to keep the latest recovery but the upside room appears limited.

EUR/USD looks sidelined around 1.1850

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, extending its bearish tone and sliding towards the 1.1850 area to print fresh daily lows on Monday. The move lower comes as the US Dollar gathers modest traction, with thin liquidity and subdued volatility amplifying price swings amid the US market holiday.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold battle around $5,000 continues

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise

Ripple is trading in a narrow range between $1.45 (immediate support) and $1.50 (resistance) at the time of writing on Monday. The remittance token extended its recovery last week, peaking at $1.67 on Sunday from the weekly open at $1.43.
