FxWirePro: AUD/USD erases disappointing current account data-led slide, bounces post RBA announcement

  • AUD/USD stalled disappointing current account data-led slide near 0.7460-55 region and edged higher.
     
  • RBA as expected, maintained status quo and left its key benchmark interest rate at record low level of 1.5%.
     
  • The central bank judged steady policy consistent with growth and inflation targets.
     
  • AUD/USD has bounced of major trendline support at 0.7370 levels, broken above 20-DMA and bulls now target 200-DMA at 0.7531.
     
  • Technical indicators are biased higher, we see weakness only on close below 20-DMA at 0.7436.
     
  • The pair is currently struggling at 50-DMA, break above confirms further upside.

Support levels - 0.7454 (50% Fib), 0.7441 (5-DMA), 0.7436 (20-DMA), 0.74, 0.7385 (61.8% Fib of 0.71599 to 0.7749 rise)
