The AUDUSD faced resistance near 2025 highs around 0.65135 and has since reversed lower, showing diminished bullish momentum. The retreat has tested a key support at the 200-day Moving Average (MA) positioned at 0.64578, a vital level for potential upward moves.
If the 200-day MA support holds, it could serve as a springboard for buyers. However, failing to maintain this support could lead to increased selling pressure. Below the 200-day MA, the 200-hour MA at 0.6440 presents additional support, along with the 100-bar MA on the 4-hour chart and the 100-hour MA both near 0.6418. Breaking below these could shift focus back to sellers.
Key Market Levels
Key levels are established with immediate support at the 200-day MA of 0.64578 and secondary support at the 200-hour MA of 0.6440 and 100-hour MA at 0.6418. Resistance is noted at the 2025 high of 0.65135. The market is neutral in the short term but may turn bullish above 0.64578 and bearish below 0.6418.
The battle between buyers and sellers hinges on holding key support levels. Observing these levels could provide direction for future market movements.
As of now, the Australian dollar has met a ceiling near the 0.65135 mark—roughly the highest we’ve seen so far in 2025—and what followed was a straightforward pullback. It’s fairly clear that buying enthusiasm has waned since reaching that peak, which isn’t surprising given the proximity to previous resistance. More telling, perhaps, is how price action has since interacted with moving averages often regarded as vital by participants in our sphere.
After slipping from those highs, price tested the 200-day moving average—currently sitting at 0.64578—which is closely watched by longer-term traders. Though not a flawless predictor, this level often coincides with shifts in direction, particularly during periods of transition. If holding this support level sparks renewed interest from buyers, we could see a climb back towards earlier highs. On the other hand, a clean break below brings another set of technical levels into play, each one drawing in shorter-term positioning.
Strategic Market Decisions
Detail is everything here. Next in line beneath the 200-day MA is the 200-hour moving average, located about 17 pips lower at 0.6440. Below that, there’s a cluster of averages near 0.6418: the 100-bar moving average on the four-hour chart and the 100-hour moving average. Together, these tend to act as both a technical floor and an area of decision for market participants debating whether holding or reversing positions makes more sense under current conditions.
Martin’s analysis suggests traders are equally split between preparing for renewed bidding interest and bracing for further declines. Price hovering near that 200-day average keeps things in a holding pattern. Above the 0.64578 figure, momentum could favour upward positioning. Slip beneath 0.64180 and we start shifting positioning activity more openly towards selling. We will want to keep a careful eye on whether any decisive price action develops around that convergence of support.
In positioning discussions over the next week, that stack of moving averages becomes more relevant. They’re not arbitrary levels—they’re used actively, forming a reference point for algorithmic triggers, trade management, and direction bias reinforcement. If price closes below the 0.64180 band on sustained volume, one could expect an adjustment in baseline expectations. That may already be under discussion in some rooms.
With resistance still planted around the 0.65135 region, directional moves are unlikely to extend without a confirmed test of those areas. We’ve seen momentum decay in the ascent, and without reclaiming levels like 0.64578 decisively, the buying case looks thinner. Still, flickers of demand may emerge if price stabilises above that average across a few sessions.
Focus should not drift away from how momentum aligns with these defined markers. What appears to be a neutral structure on the daily wouldn’t stay that way for long under pressure. If we see higher timeframes begin to follow directionally—say, weekly bars closing beneath that cluster of support—the case for controlled, directional positioning may strengthen.
Action, then, becomes less about impulse and more about calibration.
