The market is expecting a 40k increase in jobs in March\u2014a sharp turnaround from last month\u2019s -52.8k print\u2014with the unemployment rate expected to creep up 0.1% to 4.2%. Any significant deviation from these expectations could trigger major moves in the currency, which is currently hovering near key technical levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aussie has consolidated near its annual high over the past few days after a turbulent trading month that saw it fall 7% before rallying the same amount, fueled by updates on U.S. tariffs. A stronger print today could see the Aussie break through current levels and move into a fresh topside range, with the longer-term target now sitting just under 68 cents. A weaker print would likely see the pair drop back into recent ranges, with short-term support now resting at the 200-day moving average of 0.6183.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resistance 2:<\/strong> 0.6408 \u2013 2025 High<br \/><strong>Resistance 1:<\/strong> 0.6390 \u2013 Trendline Resistance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support 1:<\/strong> 0.6183 \u2013 200-Day Moving Average<br \/><strong>Support 2:<\/strong> 0.5912 \u2013 Trendline Support and 2025 Low<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Aussie-Hourly-9.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"964\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Aussie-Hourly-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Aussie-Hourly-9.png 964w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Aussie-Hourly-9-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Aussie-Hourly-9-768x300.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aussie dollar traders are preparing for another busy trading day as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":75609,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[462],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75607"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75610,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75607\/revisions\/75610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
