On the daily scale, AUD/USD has advanced above 50% Fibonacci retracement (placed from 25 February 2021 high at 0.8008 to January 28 low at 0.6966) at 0.7492. The major has given a breakout of a rising channel, which signals an expansion in ticks and volumes going forward.

For more upside, bulls need to violate Thursday’s high at 0.7528, which will send the asset towards 28 October 2021 high at 0.7557. Breach of the latter will drive the asset to 61.8% Fibo retracement at 0.7613.
On the flip side, bulls may lose control if the major slip below Wednesday’s low at 0.7450. This will drag the asset towards 38.2% Fibo retracement and 200 EMA at 0.7369 and 0.7300 respectively.
