Today, the price is lower and the price has moved into a swing area on the daily chart between 0.7540 and 0.7560. The low reached 0.7550 so far. The area is a key area. A broken ceiling becomes a floor. Staying above the floor is important..
Drilling to the hourly chart below, the pair is also approaching the rising 100 hour MA at 0.7539 currently. That too increases the daily swing area’s importance (the daily low of the swing area is at 0.7540). A break below the 100 hour MA would next target the 200 hour MA at 0.75209. Move below both (and stay below) and the sellers can further probe the downside.
AUDUSD moves toward the 100 hour MA
