  • AUD/USD edges lower from 6-week highs at 0.7666, trades rangebound around major trendline resistance at 0.7635.
     
  • RBA expected to leave cash rate at 1.50% for 19th straight meeting and is also expected to retain its neutral stance.
     
  • A hawkish RBA Rate Statement, or one that predicts increasing inflation could be AUD supportive, while a dovish view on the Australian economy could weaken the AUD.
     
  • That said, markets already pricing in stronger than expected Q1 GDP numbers on Wednesday. Forecasts are for a 0.8% increase versus 0.4% prior. 
     
  • Technical studies show that the pair has formed a 'Bullish Engulfing' pattern on the daily candle which supports further upside.
     
  • Also, we see bullish divergence from price action on Stochs which adds upside support.
     
  • Upside has broken above 23.6% Fib and 50-DMA. Upside has paused at cloud base and break into daily cloud to see further upside.

Support levels - 0.7605 (50-DMA), 0.7569 (21-EMA), 0.75, 0.7447 (May 15, 16 low)

Resistance levels - 0.7669 (cloud base), 0.7688 (38.2% Fib), 0.77
