This week, the Aussie Dollar started a strong upward move from the 0.6820 support area against the US Dollar. The AUD/USD pair broke a couple of important hurdles near 0.6850 to move into a positive zone.

Recently, there was a downside correction below the 0.6900 support area. The pair even traded below the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the recent leg from the 0.6849 low to 0.6929 high.

However, the 0.6880 support area is currently acting as a strong support. Furthermore, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent leg from the 0.6849 low to 0.6929 high is protecting losses.

More importantly, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near 0.6890 on the hourly chart of AUD/USD. Therefore, there are high chances of a fresh increase above the 0.6920 resistance area in the coming sessions.
