AUD/USD Analysis
The AUD/USD dropped at the beginning of this week's trading, despite positive data regarding the easing of closure restrictions on the largest affected states in the Australian continent. The State of Victoria decided to ease COVID-19 restrictions on Sunday after the hot spot of the epidemic in the country recorded 37 days without any new infections of the coronavirus, and is heading towards a "safe" holiday season.
In a press conference, Prime Minister Daniel Andrews said, "Today we can take some big steps, not as usual, but for a safe summer from COVID-19, we all have to remain vigilant and we all need to play our role."
The AUD/USD pair is trading in a general bullish trend, but is witnessing a correction wave as the pair trades on a decline at the 0.7392 level at the time of writing, and is based on a rising trend line in addition to strong support levels.
We expect that the downside wave will not continue much longer and that the pair will rise again from the current levels or from the strong supports at 0.7355 and 0.73232, respectively, with targets reaching 0.7472 and 0.75140, respectively.
