The Australian dollar is showing signs of weakness against the US dollar after failing to retest the 0.7135 level, according to UOB strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann. The currency pair has been consolidating in a narrow trading range between 0.7153 and 0.7187, but analysts expect the soft tone to persist with potential downside movement toward 0.7150. The failure to breach lower support suggests indecision in the market, though the overall bias remains tilted to the downside within the established range.
This gradual pullback comes as traders await fresh catalysts to drive directional momentum in the pair. Market participants should watch for any breakdown below 0.7150, which could accelerate selling pressure and open the door to further losses. For now, the AUD/USD remains range-bound with limited upside conviction.
