Day to day, the price moves 0.33% on average (the 30-day standard deviation of daily returns).

CleaRank AI analysis of AUD/USD
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
At $0.6947, Australian Dollar / US Dollar (AUD/USD) sits beneath both of its principal moving averages, 1.67% below the 50-day average of $0.7064 and 1.72% below the 200-day average of $0.7068. Across its 52-week range, which runs from $0.6421 up to $0.7280, the price stands at 61%.
The recent pullback sits within a longer record that is still firmer. Over the past month the price fell 2.30%, and over the past three months it fell 0.50%, yet across the past year it rose 6.83%. Momentum is soft: the 14-day RSI stands at 39.9, inside the bearish zone without reaching oversold territory, and the MACD line is negative.
- The two levels closest to the price are the 20-day EMA at $0.6977, sitting above it, and the 52-week low at $0.6421, sitting below it.
- With the 14-day RSI at 39.9, momentum falls in the bearish zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings beyond 70 or under 30 signal stretched momentum.
The downtrend holds for as long as AUD/USD trades below both its 50-day average of $0.7064 and its 200-day average of $0.7068. A close back above the 50-day would mark the first sign of a repair. Overhead, the 20-day EMA at $0.6977 is the first obstacle a rally would face.
Should the price fall further, the 52-week low at $0.6421 is the next level it would reach. The RSI is in the bearish band, a reading that argues against a rapid rebound.
