AUD/USD Price Analysis: Bears could be about to pounce

  • AUD/USD´s bearish engulfment on the last 4-hour candle is eyed.
  • Bears eye a break of 0.6661 with 0.6625 seen below there guarding the 0.6550s. 

The Australian dollar traded around 30 pips on either side of around 0.67 the figure vs. the greenback on Friday and ended the month little changed, in a period marked by constantly shifting outlooks for interest rates and the banking sector globally.

Meanwhile, easing domestic inflationary pressures leave a question mark over the Reserve Bank of Australia´s interest rate meeting this week. The RBA stated in its latest minutes it would reconsider the case for a pause at the April fixing to reassess the economic outlook.

Looking at the technicals, there is also a downside bias as follows:
