  • AUD/USD has been rejected at highs around 0.7508 on Thursday's trade.
     
  • Aussie ignores better-than-expected Chinese CPI report, broadly stronger greenback weighs. 
     
  • The pair is just holding above 20-DMA support at 0.7443, break below will accentuate weakness.
     
  • On the hourly charts we see strong resistance at 0.7458 which is converged 100-SMA and trendline.
     
  • RSI on hourlies flatlined below 50 levels, though Stochs still show some upside in the pair.
     
  • Support levels - 0.7454 (1H 5-SMA), 0.7443 (20-DMA), 0.7421 (23.6% Fib)
     
  • Resistance levels - 0.7458 (1H 100-SMA and trendline). 0.7467 (5-DMA), 0.7489 (38.2% Fib), 0.75
     

Recommendation: Good to go short at current levels (0.7458), SL: 0.75, TP: 0.7440/ 0.7420/ 0.74
 

Bearish invalidation on decisive breakout above 0.7458, bulls can then test 0.7489 levels.
