Although inflation in Australia has surpassed its peak, it currently stands at 7 percent, which is still considerably high. It will take some time before inflation returns to the target range.

From a technical perspective, examining the four-hour timeframe, the AUD/USD currency pair has formed a significant bullish engulfing candle, breaking through the 0.6664 resistance level and now targeting the next level at 0.6760.

Simultaneously, a downward trendline is providing major support around the 0.6705 level. As a result, the AUD/USD may experience a bearish correction until it reaches 0.6664.

Closing above this level would signal an opportunity to open a long position in AUD/USD. Prior to that, a stop-loss should be placed around the 0.6620 level, while the upside targets could be around 0.6760 or 0.6795.
