AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Aussie runs into falling channel hurdle
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) sounded relatively optimistic about the labor market, sending the Aussie dollar higher across the board.
As of writing, the AUD/USD pair is chipping away at the falling channel resistance at press time, having gained 60 pips in the last two hours.
4-hour chart
As seen above, AUD/USD is trading at the channel resistance of 0.7262. A violation there would expose the 200-day moving average (MA), currently at 0.7295.
A repeated failure to beat the channel hurdle would weaken bullish pressures to some extent. The bears, however, would feel emboldened only blow the low of 0.72 seen before the RBA rate decision.
