FxWirePro: AUD/USD extends decline for 4th straight session, bias lower, stay short

  • AUD/USD extends decline for 4th straight session after rejection at channel top.
     
  • Technical indicators are bearish, RSI and Stochs are biased lower, MACD is on verge of bearish crossover on signal line.
     
  • The Aussie under intense selling pressure after RBA retained its neutral monetary policy stance and reiterated risks associated with rising exchange rate.
     
  • The major is currently holding support at 20-DMA at 0.7593, break below will accentuate weakness.
     
  • Next strong support below 20-DMA lies at 200-DMA at 0.7532, violation there will see test of 50-DMA at 0.75.
     
  • On the flipside, upside resumption likely only on break above channel top at 0.7715.
