FxWirePro: AUD/USD hits 2-week lows below 0.74 handle, dip till 0.7290 likely

• AUD/USD trades weak on the day as the greenback remains buoyed after Powell's optimistic testimony.
   
• Powell's comments, during the semiannual congressional testimony, suggested that lingering trade tensions will not prevent the Fed from raising interest rates.
   
• On the otherside, subdued copper prices add to pressure on the commodity-linked Australian Dollar.
   
• AUD/USD upside capped at 5-DMA, slips below 0.74 handle to hit fresh 2-week lows at 0.7347.
   
• Technical indicators on daily charts have turned bearish. But bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs keeps scope for upside.
   
• We see next major support at 0.7290 (major trendline support). Break below will accentuate weakness. 
   
• Focus now on US housing market data ahead of Powell's second round of testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. 
   
• On the upside, break above 21-EMA at 0.7415 could see further upside.
