AUD/USD levels

Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet explained that the pair is technically bullish, and readings in the 4 hours chart support additional gains ahead: "The pair bounced again from a bullish 20 SMA, while technical indicators resumed their advances, the Momentum from above its 100 level and the RSI currently entering overbought conditions." To the downside, however, the hourly 100 SMA located at 0.7942 has been a supportive line within the rising channel from 0.7848 recent lows where traders could target on a break of 0.7870.
