December Australian dollar futures (A6Z25) present a selling opportunity on more price weakness.
See on the daily bar chart for the December Australian dollar futures that prices have started to trend down. See, too, at the bottom of the chart that the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is in a bearish posture as the blue MACD line has just crossed below the red trigger line.
Fundamentally, the U.S. economy is stronger and arguably in better shape than the Australian economy. The threat of additional U.S. tariffs on Australian goods is also a bearish element for the Aussie dollar.
A move in the December Aussie dollar futures below chart support at .6436 would give the bears more power and it would also become a selling opportunity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any trades and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature.
Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%):
Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.
