Australian Dollar Technical Outlook: AUD/USD Multi-Timeframe Analysis

Australian dollar technical analysis shows a third weekly drop after a Fibonacci resistance stall and a Fed-driven break of the June uptrend. Michael Boutros, StoneX Media Senior Market Analyst, walks through the Australian dollar across the weekly, daily and four-hour charts. The Federal Reserve decision fueled the drop that broke the AUD/USD uptrend in place since June, while daily RSI momentum sits at its lowest level since July. The video maps the Fibonacci confluence behind the reversal and the 200-day moving average. Event risk comes from the Australian employment report and trade talks on tariffs, rare earths and AI.
