Base case for the week
Short-term momentum supports a bullish 7-day bias, with a stronger 30-day glide path.
The most practical weekly framework is to assume the current trend remains intact unless one of the main catalysts changes materially. Traders should focus on confirmation, not prediction.
Market context for the week
AUD/USD reacts to broad dollar moves and risk appetite.
Bullish path
AUD/USD strengthens if momentum stays aligned with its primary drivers, especially when china-linked growth sentiment and commodity demandcontinue to support the same direction.
Bearish path
The weekly outlook weakens when the market narrative flips quickly, positioning gets crowded, or one of the headline catalysts loses support and forces a fast repricing.
What would invalidate the thesis
- Short-term momentum below medium-term trend
- Destructive price action
- Bearish 7-day bias
Evidence that should confirm the weekly view

Primary sources to monitor this week
