AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Struggles to break through a descending trend-line hurdle

   “¢   The pair’s recent rise over the past one week or so once again stalled near a short-term descending trend-line hurdle, also coinciding with 55-day SMA.

   “¢   The pair remains within an eight-week-old broader trading range and diverging technical indicators on the daily/4-hourly chart also fail to support any firm directional bias.  

   “¢   Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break in either direction before traders start positioning for the pair’s near-term trajectory.
