  • 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.
