AUD/USD Price Analysis: Bulls testing bearish commitments at key H4 resistance

  •  AUD/USD M-formation is compelling and traders will wait to see if the bears commit at the neckline resistance.
  • A break of the trendline support, however, opens the risk of a move to test 0.6650 and then 0.6580. 

AUD/USD is up 0.13% having rallied from a low of 0.6744 to a high of 0.6759 in what appears to be a technical move, retesting a 4-hour M-formation;'s neckline in what could be the last defence for a considerable;e move higher. 

However, should the resistance hold, there will be prospects of a downside continuation and even a break of the channel's support for the days ahead.

As illustrated, the price of AUD/USD has been moving to the upside in a channel following the break of the prior bear trend. The M-formation is compelling and traders will wait to see if the bears commit at the neckline resistance near 0.6760 or if the bulls can get back control with eyes on 0.6850. A break of the trendline support, however, opens the risk of a move to test 0.6650 and then 0.6580.
