At the same time, the RSI has broken above 50, indicating solid bullish momentum. Initially, AUD/USD traded in a downtrend that slowed near the 0.6200 support level. Here, bears lost enthusiasm, and the price started moving in a range. At the same time, the RSI made a bullish divergence, showing weaker bearish momentum. This allowed bulls to take charge by breaching the 30-SMA resistance. However, they must now break above previous highs to start an uptrend. Therefore, the price will target the 0.6275 resistance level. A break above will confirm an uptrend. On the other hand, if the resistance holds firm, bears might resume the downtrend.More By This Author:GBP/USD Outlook: Roaring Dollar Pushes Pound To Fresh LowsEUR/USD Price Analysis: Euro Stabilizes After Hitting Fresh LowsUSD/CAD Forecast: Loonie Faces Stormy Skies Ahead
