The rebound lacked momentum.<\/p>\n<p>In the near term, the pair is expected to trade in a 0.6890 to 0.6940 range. Over the next one to three weeks, it is seen moving within a wider 0.6835 to 0.6955 band.<\/p>\n<h3>Near Term Range Outlook<\/h3>\n<p>The broader technical view indicates downward pressure remains. A break below the 0.6850 to 0.6870 support area could open a move towards 0.6765.<\/p>\n<p>The article was produced using an artificial intelligence tool and reviewed by an editor.<\/p>\n<p>We see the recent bounce in the Australian dollar as a short-term move that is already losing steam. The pair is most likely to trade sideways in a narrow band between 0.6890 and 0.6940 in the immediate future. This suggests that options strategies designed to profit from low volatility could be appropriate for now.<\/p>\n<p>The broader outlook for the next one to three weeks remains tilted to the downside, with a potential trading range of 0.6835 to 0.6955. This bearish view is reinforced by fundamental factors, including recent data showing iron ore prices have fallen below $100 per tonne and a growing policy gap between the US Federal Reserve and the Reserve Bank of Australia. The US jobs report from last Friday showed a resilient labor market, suggesting the Fed has little reason to cut interest rates soon.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Support Break Scenario<\/h3>\n<p>The most important signal for traders will be a clear break below the support area of 0.6850\/0.6870. Should this level fail to hold, it would likely trigger a sharper decline, presenting an opportunity to buy put options or initiate short positions with a target of 0.6765. Looking back at similar price action throughout 2025, we saw that rallies often faded, indicating underlying weakness in the currency pair.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login\">start trading<\/a>\u00a0now. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUD\/USD rebounded to 0.6938 but lacks momentum;
