  • Aussie is trying to extend last week's recovery, AUD/USD trades 0.19% higher on the day at 0.7556 levels.
  • The pair is struggling at 21-EMA at 0.7571 and decisive break above could see further upside.
  • Focus on employment data and the Reserve Bank of Australia meeting minutes for further impetus.
  • US dollar gives back some ground across the board on a softer-than-expected US inflation figures triggered pullback.
  • Technical studies are turning higher from oversold levels. MACD has shown a decisive crossover on signal line.
  • However, RSI partially losing upward strength, indicating that clearer signs are needed before calling for an upward extension.
  • A decisive breakout above 21-EMA with RSI rising above 50 would be confirmation for further gains.
