The AUD/USD currency pair is trading around 0.6910 during Asian hours on Monday, maintaining gains after two consecutive days of losses [1]. Technical analysis reveals that the pair remains within a descending wedge pattern, which typically signals weakening selling pressure and a potential for a bullish breakout as lower highs and lower lows converge [1]. Despite this, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 43, indicating a bearish bias, with momentum slipping below the midline after failing to sustain earlier strength [1]. The near-term outlook remains bearish as AUD/USD trades below both the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the flatter 50-day EMA [1].
Key support levels include the 11-week low of 0.6833, recorded on March 30, and the lower boundary of the wedge at 0.6810. A break below these levels could reinforce the bearish bias and potentially lead the pair toward the deeper 0.6400 rebound support zone [1]. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at the nine-day EMA of 0.6918, followed by the 50-day EMA at 0.6958, which aligns with the upper boundary of the wedge. A sustained move above this confluence resistance could pave the way for a test of 0.7187, the highest level since June 2022, reached on March 11 [1].
In terms of broader currency performance, the Australian Dollar was the strongest against the Swiss Franc, gaining 0.24% today. Against the US Dollar, the AUD rose by 0.15%, and it also posted gains versus the Euro (0.14%), British Pound (0.09%), Japanese Yen (0.11%), and Canadian Dollar (0.10%) [1]. These figures suggest a generally positive day for the Australian Dollar across major currency pairs.

CONCLUSION
AUD/USD is showing signs of stabilizing above 0.6900, with technical indicators suggesting weakening bearish momentum but a near-term bearish bias persists. The Australian Dollar outperformed most major currencies today, particularly the Swiss Franc. Market participants should watch for a break above resistance levels for confirmation of a bullish reversal.
