The Aussie was driven by strong downside risks on Friday that sent AUD/USD for a fall down to 0.7640. It was consequently testing the given level for several hours prior to pushing it back up to 0.7670 by mid-Monday. 

As apparent on the chart, the upside momentum has allayed near a significant resistance cluster formed by the 100-, 200– and 55-hour SMAs and the weekly PP at 0.7675. 

It is expected that this area is not breached until all these lines are located at one point. Technical indicators also support a possible movement south in the upcoming hours. 

The Aussie reversing from the 0.7640 area confirmed the existence of a relatively flat ascending channel. Thus, the base scenario favours the rate remaining between the aforementioned resistance and the bottom channel boundary in the 0.7675/0.7640 area.
