  • AUD/USD hits fresh 4-month highs at 0.7960 before paring some gains to currently trade at 0.7942 levels.
     
  • The major has resumed upside after brief consolidation after break above daily cloud.
     
  • Momentum bullish, RSI above 70 levels and MACD and ADX support trend higher.
     
  • Price has broken 200W SMA and is extending grind higher. 78.6% Fib at 0.7980 is immediate resistance.
     
  • Above 0.7980, next major bull target lies at 200 month SMA at 0.8060.
     
  • 200W-SMA at 0.7845 is strong support, retrace below invalidates bullish bias.

Support levels - 0.7882 (5-DMA), 0.7845 (nearly converged 5 & 200W SMAs), 0.78, 0.7773 (100-DMA)

Resistance levels - 0.7980 (78.6% Fib retrace of 0.81250 to 0.75012 fall), 0.80, 0.8060 (200M SMA)

Recommendation: Book partial profits at highs, watch out for break at 78.6% Fib for further upside.
