AUD/USD Technical Analysis: oversold bounce underway
The AUD/USD pair is currently trading at 0.71, having clocked a low of 0.7060 last week.
The 40-pip oversold bounce could be extended further toward the downward sloping 5-day moving average (MA) of 07125, as the RSI on the 4H chart is reporting a bullish divergence and an upside break of the falling trendline. Further, the RSI on the hourly chart has moved into bullish territory above 50.00.
The bounce, however, could be short-lived, courtesy of dovish RBA expectations. Also, Chinese yuan has erased early gains - the USD/CNH pair is currently trading largely unchanged on the day at 6.7815, having clocked a low of 6.7646 earlier today.
More importantly, a close above 6.7945 (the high of Friday's doji) could yield big rally in USD/CNH. A slide in yuan will likely accentuate bearish pressures around the Australian currency.
