Trade pact and risk aversion shape AUD/USD sentiment despite US dollar strength

Australia and the European Union formally signed a free trade agreement that removes tariffs on Australian critical minerals and establishes a broader Security and Defense Partnership. Meanwhile, the US dollar remained resilient as sentiment shifted on peace talks, with limited risk appetite attributed to a widening trust gap and elevated oil prices. Forex traders observed these developments alongside ongoing volatility for the Australian Dollar vs US Dollar, with attention on support at 0.6943 for the pair, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum persists as mixed signals cap intraday volatility

Momentum signals on the daily chart are bearish: MACD shows a sell bias, while the ADX at 18.68 points to a weak or non-directional trend. RSI is at 47.13 and CCI at -93.99, indicating no oversold condition but a modest lean toward continued weakness. Stoch RSI near 21 also signals low momentum without clear oversold readings. BBP stands near zero but slightly favors buyers, creating a mixed intraday profile; the Awesome Oscillator aligns with the prevailing downtrend. Intraday, the pair is mid-range and opened with a modest downside gap, maintaining moderate volatility after slipping 0.52%. Resistance is immediate at $0.7050 (Kijun/MA-20), with key support below at $0.6950 and $0.6920.

Recovery prospects improve as technicals favor upside within defined band

For the next five trading days, the typical volatility band is expected between $0.6950 and $0.7035, placing the current level near the lower end of this range. Weekly technical indicators — including RSI, ADX, MACD, and MA-50 — all signal a high probability of price recovery, with the chance of an upward move estimated above 80%. Baseline scenario: AUD/USD is likely to oscillate sideways within this corridor. A bullish breakout above $0.7050 could open a path toward $0.7070, while a sustained drop below $0.6950 would expose support near $0.6920.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees AUD/USD as holding above key long-term support despite short-term pressure. He notes that broad macro drivers, including Australia’s new EU trade deal and global risk sentiment, could favor stabilization. The analyst is confident that medium-term volatility will remain contained, with sideways movement likely unless pivotal levels break. Karapetjanc believes momentum could quickly shift if $0.7050 is cleared. "With major fundamentals turning supportive, I expect AUD/USD to find its footing and attempt a moderate recovery from here."

Earlier, analysts noted that mixed momentum and technical resistance were keeping the Australian dollar's outlook uncertain despite underlying long-term support. The latest market action confirms this cautious stance, but with weekly indicators now pointing to a potential reversal, traders should watch for a sustained break above $0.7050 or below $0.6950 as the next catalyst for directional momentum.
