The AUD/USD surged higher on Monday, rising by 0.70% to 0.6600 amid expectations of a hawkish Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) policy decision and uncertainty surrounding the US presidential election.
Recently, the AUD/USD has declined due to a US Dollar recovery and concerns over China's economy. The RBA is expected to maintain a hawkish stance, supporting the AUD in the long term. Market expectations for an RBA rate cut are low, while investors are confident of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) later this week and again in December.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the negative area at 41, but the RSI slope is rising sharply, suggesting that buying pressure is picking up the pace. On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is flat and red, indicating that selling pressure is weakening.
The AUD/USD pair has resumed its upward trajectory, driven by a recovery in technical indicators from oversold levels. This recovery suggests that the recent sell-off may have been excessive and that buyers are re-entering the market. The pair had previously hit its lowest point since August, indicating that the downtrend may be losing momentum.
