How to Trade the Australian Dollar after RBA Rate Decision

Trading AUDUSD is Forex Diva’s pick of Tuesday. Below is a study on the essential four wheels of forex trading before placing a market order: Technical Analysis, Fundamental Analysis, Sentimental Analysis, and Intuition.

Technical Analysis

To get a better idea of the market, it is best to zoom in different time-frames.

Monthly Chart

AUD/USD has been consolidating on a monthly basis in an overall uptrend dating back to 2008. The candles seem to be breaking out the upper level of a symmetrical triangle connecting the highs and lows of 2011 and 2012, which can be signaling a continuation pattern of the previous uptrend. A break above 1.06 can open doors to more gains to 1.10749.

Weekly Chart

The weekly candles are in an uptrend trading above the Ichimoku cloud and seem to be aiming for the resistance level in the 1.07 area.

Daily Chart

The Daily candles are also in an uptrend. So where could be a potential “buy” price?

For long-term investors, the Fibonacci Retracement study suggests placing a buy order at 38.2% or 50% levels at 1.02324 or 1.01301, and waiting for the prices to reach the resistance level of 1.08. The pair should be well supported at 1.0078 at the 68.1% Fib level.

A different shorter-term scenario would be placing a buy order at a previous resistance level at 1.04318, looking for the resistance to turn into support.

4-hour Chart

On a 4-hour basis, the pair is trading well above the Ichimoku cloud. The Tenkan line crossed above the Kijun line at 1.05129 signaling more gains for Aussie Dollar.

Fundamental Analysis

Aussie dollar touched 4-month high as the Reserve Bank of Australian (RBA) kept interest rates unchanged and said current policy settings are appropriate. According to Bloomberg BusinessWeek, RBA Governor Glenn Stevens and his board said in a statement from Sydney the nation’s growth is close to trend. An expected decision by Australia’s central bank to hold rates steady could also be behind the gains of the Australian dollar on Tuesday.

Sentimental Analysis

According to the SSI, nearly 74% of traders are short the AUD/USD. Short positions are 2.8% higher than yesterday and 3.9% weaker since last week. Open interest is 4.1% stronger than yesterday and 14.4% above its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator and signals more AUDUSD gains.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
