They highlight nearby resistance at 0.7050/0.7080, with short-term support at 0.6950 and scope for a larger rebound if resistance breaks.

Aussie holds trend support

"AUD/USD defended the ascending trend line drawn since March near 0.6900, resulting in a brief rebound."

"The pair is now approaching the confluence of the 50-DMA and the 200-DMA at 0.7050/0.7080, which represents an important interim resistance zone."

"If AUD/USD overcomes this hurdle, a larger rebound cannot be ruled out."

"The low achieved last week at 0.6950 is a short-term support."
