The AUD/USD had the best day in months on Monday, boosted by a sharp decline of the US Dollar Index (DXY), despite risk aversion. The pair rose almost a hundred pips and stabilized around 0.6675 after hitting five-day highs above 0.6700.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on Friday triggered a crisis and a run to safety. The rally in Treasury bonds weighed on the DXY, which dropped more than 1% on Monday, falling below 103.70. The US 10-year yield fell more than 4% to 3.50%. The Aussie held relatively well despite market jitters. Volatility is set to remain elevated. If panic persists, it would be more difficult for AUD/USD to hold at current levels or extend the rally.
AUDUSD term trend is still down. In today's price it is possible that the price will sweep up to the 0.6700 resistance area again then continue to go down. Recommended to wait to sell to 0.6700, SL: 0.6750, TP: 0.6650-0.6575
