AUD/USD daily chart
AUD/USD is trading in a tight range just above the 50 and 100 simple moving averages (DMAs). Although the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) was way better than anticipated with 266k vs. 180k expected, AUD/USD didn’t react as dramatically as other currency pairs as it is still trading within familiar ranges.

AUD/USD four-hour chart
The aussie is consolidating the early December gains around the 200 SMA. After the London close, the market is trading below the 0.6836/43 resistance zone. However, in the event the spot breaks this area, the bulls could drive the market to the 0.6864 level, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.

AUD/USD 30-minute chart
