2. Stop Loss:

3. Target:
   • Initial target at the x6 level; extended target at the x9 level if bearish momentum persists.

Scenario 2: Oversold Reversal

1. Entry:
   • Enter long positions near the x9 level if price exhibits signs of reversal, such as bullish divergence in MACD or volume spikes.
2. Stop Loss:

Concluding Thoughts

AUD/USD remains firmly in a bearish structure, with price action respecting key EMA Zones and the GATS 369 Channel. While oversold conditions near the x6 level could prompt short-term consolidation or a minor reversal, the broader trend favors short opportunities.
