AUD/USD Price Analysis: Extends Australia employment-led gains towards 0.7370

• AUD/USD remains on the front foot after defying weekly falling channel.
• Bullish MACD signals, firmer RSI adds to the upside bias.
• Latest swing high could test the bulls before directing them to 0.7460.
• 200-SMA, ascending trend line from late January offer extra challenge for sellers.

AUD/USD grinds higher around the weekly top, up 0.35% intraday near 0.7315 during Thursday’s Asian session.

The Aussie pair’s latest gains could be linked to the firmer employment report for February, which in turn propelled the quote to defy a one-week-old descending trend channel formation.

The channel break also gains support from the upbeat MACD and RSI to direct AUD/USD buyers towards the latest swing high of 0.7370.

However, the RSI line might turn overbought following the 0.7370, if not then the monthly high of 0.7441 and 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion of January-March moves, near 0.7460-65, will challenge the pair’s advances.

On the contrary, pullback moves remain elusive beyond the upper line of the aforementioned channel, close to 0.7290.

Following that, the 200-SMA and the seven-week-old rising support line, respectively near 0.7210 and 0.7190, will challenge AUD/USD bears.
