- AUD/USD could climb toward the nine-day EMA at 0.7164.
- The 14-day RSI, hovering near 48, suggests the recent decline is entering a consolidation phase with no clear dominance from either buyers or sellers.
- On the downside, immediate support is seen at the 50-day EMA around 0.7115.
AUD/USD extends its decline after posting modest losses in the previous session, trading near 0.7140 during Friday’s Asian session. Technical analysis on the daily chart shows the pair continuing to trade within a developing descending wedge pattern, pointing to two possible outcomes depending on how price behaves around the formation’s boundaries.

A clear breakout above the wedge’s descending resistance line would indicate renewed bullish momentum and raise the prospect of a trend reversal to the upside. However, as the pattern is still forming, failure to overcome the upper boundary could keep the pair trapped in a period of choppy, downward consolidation until a decisive breakout emerges.
The pair remains supported above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) while facing resistance from the nine-day EMA. Combined with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is hovering around the neutral 48 level, the setup reflects a consolidative bias with limited momentum from either buyers or sellers following the recent retreat.
On the upside, AUD/USD could test initial resistance at the nine-day EMA near 0.7164, followed by the upper edge of the descending wedge around 0.7200. A successful breakout above that region may open the door for a move toward 0.7277 — the highest level since June 2022, reached on May 6.
To the downside, immediate support is located at the 50-day EMA around 0.7115, with additional support near the wedge’s lower boundary at 0.7080. A sustained move below this area could intensify bearish pressure and expose the pair to a deeper decline toward the four-month low of 0.6833 recorded on March 30.
