The price action was such that the pair even corrected below the 0.6980 level and the 50 hourly SMA. There is also a breakout pattern forming with support near the 0.6965 level on the hourly chart of AUD/USD.

It seems like there could be a downside spike below 0.6970 before the pair could start a fresh increase. The main support is near the 0.6950 and 0.6940 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.6902 low to 0.7007 high is also near the 0.6955 level to act as a support.

The overall price action is positive and it seems like there could be more upsides above the 0.6650 level. A clear break above 0.6650 might push the price above 0.6660.
