AUD/USD has only one more support line to cling to

Reserve Bank of Australian Governor Phillip Lowe said that he is considering a rate cut in the upcoming June meeting. His words sent the Aussie significantly lower. What are the levels to watch in AUD/USD?

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that AUD/USD has significant support at  0.6864  which is the convergence of the previous weekly low, the Pivot Point one-month Support 2, the Bollinger Band 4h-Lower, and more lines.

If the Aussie dollar loses this substantial support line, it enjoys only single support lines such as the Pivot Point one-day S2 at  0.6940, the PP 1-week S1 at 0.6817, and the PP 1d-S3 at 0.6807.

Resistance is much more significant. AUD/USD has an initial hurdle at  0.6897  which is the confluence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week, and the Simple Moving Average 5-15m.

The next cap is more considerable. At  0.6910, the A$ faces a dense cluster of lines: the SMA 5-1d, the SMA 100-1h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, the SMA 50-15m, the SMA10-1h, the SMA 10-1h, and more.

Further above, if it stages a massive recovery, AUD/USD may target  0.6957where the PP 1m-S1, the PP 1w-R1, the SMA 10-1d, and the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week converge.

Here is how it looks on the tool:

Confluence Detector

The Confluence Detector finds  exciting opportunities using Technical Confluences.  The TC is a tool to locate and point out those price levels where there is a  congestion of indicators,  moving averages,  Fibonacci levels, Pivot Points, etc. Knowing where these congestion points are located is very useful for the trader, and can be used as a basis for different strategies.

This tool assigns a certain amount of “weight” to each indicator, and this “weight” can influence  adjacents  price levels. These weightings mean that one  price level without any indicator  or moving average but under the influence of two “strongly weighted” levels accumulate more resistance than their neighbors. In these cases, the tool signals resistance in apparently empty areas.
