AUD/USD Price Analysis: Battles key resistance below 0.7200 on China Caixin Services PMI

  • AUD/USD takes the bids near intraday high after Australia’s largest customer recently flashed upbeat data.
  • China’s September month Caixin Services PMI crossed 50.7 forecast and 54.00 prior with 54.8.
  • 21-day SMA, a three-week-old falling trend line offer immediate upside barrier.

AUD/USD bulls attack the 0.7185/90 resistance confluence during early Friday. The pair recently gained from strong prints of China’s Caixin Services PMI whereas upbeat risk tone also favor the bulls.

Additionally, MACD is turning bullish and hence challenging the confluence of 21-day SMA, a descending trend line from September 18, around 0.7190.

Other than the immediate upside barrier, the 50-day SMA level of 0.7206 and a five-week-old downward sloping resistance line, at 0.7245 now, also probe the bulls.

In a case where AUD/USD manages to cross 0.7245, the 0.7300 threshold and the mid-September high near 0.7350 can please the buyers.

Alternatively, the monthly bottom surrounding 0.7095, followed by September 25 top near 0.7085, can restrict the pair’s near-term declines ahead of the previous month’s low close to the 0.7000 psychological magnet.
