The Fed's Hawkish Stance and China Property Fears Weigh on AUDUSD

sAUD/USD faces challenges as it clings to support near 0.6400, remaining trapped within a familiar range. The Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and worries about a potential property crisis in China weigh heavily on the pair's prospects. Despite support at 0.6400, resistance at 0.6420-0.6430 limits any upward moves. AUD/USD grapples with a tough environment, as the USD's strength and China's property concerns cap its gains and keep it range-bound. Traders await developments that could break the pair free from this constricted zone as on Tuesday "a new home sales" and "building permits" economic news will be released which could tell more about the strength US economy in the property sector. A mixed outcome of these news may potentially turn this pair bullish for the Australian Dollar (AUD). If it beats the expectation, it may make this pair to be more bearish and continues making lower low.
