AUD/USD Price Forecast: Hovers around 0.7250 near nine-day EMA support

AUD/USD inches lower after registering modest gains in the previous day, trading around 0.7250 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates that the pair is remaining within the ascending channel, suggesting an ongoing bullish bias.

The near-term tone stays bullish as the AUD/USD pair holds above both the nine-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-period EMA, suggesting a constructive trend structure.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is around 63 points to firm but not extreme upside momentum, hinting that buyers still have the upper hand while the price approaches overhead levels.

The AUD/USD pair may retest the 0.7277, the highest since June 2022, recorded on May 6. A successful break above this level would support the pair to target the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 0.7480.

On the downside, the AUD/USD pair may test the immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 0.7230, aligned with the lower boundary of the ascending channel. Further declines below the channel would expose the 50-day EMA at 0.7109. A sustained break below the medium-term average would cause the bearish emergence and put downward pressure on the AUD/USD pair to navigate the region around the three-month low of 0.6833, which was recorded on March 30.
