AUD/USD rebounded strongly to 0.7960 area after approaching the bullish trend line on its daily chart, suggesting that the pair remains in the uptrend from 0.7328 and the pullback from 0.8065 could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend.

On the 4-hour chart, the AUD/USD pair recently broke above a bearish price channel at 0.7890, indicating that the downside movement from 0.8065 had completed at 0.7807 already. The pair is now in short term uptrend from 0.7807, the fall from 0.7962 could be treated as correction of the uptrend. A break above 0.7962 resistance could take price to the next resistance level at 0.8065, above this level will signal resumption of the uptrend from 0.7328.
