AUD/USD chart - Trading View 

AUD/USD spiked higher on Thursday's trade as the Aussie was buoyed on upbeat labor market report.

The economy added 21.1K fulltime jobs last month, compared to 2.4K additions in the prior month. Further, the jobless rate remained unchanged at 5.2% as expected. 

Upbeat labor data will for now ease pressure on the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut rates immediately in August. 

Major trend in the pair has been bearish and the pair finds stiff resistance at 200-DMA at 0.7090. Breakout required for further upside.

Technical indicators are turning slightly bullish on the daily  charts. Scope for upside rising.
