Today's Scenario: - The AUD/USD pair has remained range-bound between 0.6660-0.6670 despite positive retail sales data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The data showed that monthly retail sales increased by 0.4%, higher than the consensus and the previous release of 0.2%. The strong retail sales figure indicates that consumer spending remains resilient, which supports the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision to hike interest rates further.
On Tuesday, the RBA surprised the market by raising its Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 3.85%, despite expectations for a continuation of neutral policy due to declining inflationary pressures. The RBA's decision was based on the belief that the current monetary policy is not restrictive enough to achieve price stability.
Investors will now focus on the upcoming Australian Trade Balance data for March, which is expected to show a decline of 12,750M from the previous release of 13,870M. A weaker-than-expected Trade Balance figure could have a negative impact on the Australian Dollar.

Buy Scenario: - The AUD/USD pair will need to stay above the pivot point at $0.6667 to target the first major resistance level at $0.6713, followed by the Tuesday high of $0.6717. A return to the $0.67 level would indicate a bullish session. However, for this to happen, the Australian Dollar would require support from a hawkish Reserve Bank of Australia and strong retail sales figures before the US session begins.
If a breakout does occur, the AUD/USD pair could test resistance at $0.6713 but might not reach the second major resistance level at $0.6764. The third major resistance level (R3) sits at $0.6810. Till we do not advise to buy AUD/USD.

Sell Scenario: - On the other hand, if the pair falls below the pivot point, the first major support level (S1) at $0.6617 will come into play. However, unless there is a sell-off fueled by the Reserve Bank of Australia, the AUD/USD pair is likely to avoid falling below $0.66 and the second major support level (S2) at $0.6570.
The third major support level (S3) sits at $0.6520 Till we do not advise to sell AUD/USD.

Support and Resistance Level: -
SupportResistance
S1 0.6617-R1 0.6713
S2 0.6570-R2 0.6764
S3 0.6520-R3 0.6810
