AUD/USD 4-hour chart
After dipping to the 0.6827 support, the Aussie is rebounding and trading above the 100/200 simple moving averages (SMAs), suggesting bullish momentum in the near term. However, the Aussie will need a daily close above the 0.6874 resistance to open the doors towards the 0.6900 and 0.6930 resistance, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
The bearish scenario involves sellers breaking below the 0.6827 support and driving the market towards the 0.6800 handle.
