AUD/USD Technical Analysis
The Aussie dollar recently climbed to trade near the 0.7600 resistance area against the US dollar, where it found sellers. The AUD/USD pair is currently correcting lower and heading towards a bullish trend line formed on the hourly chart.
The highlighted trend line and support area hold a lot of importance, as the pair must hold it if it has to retain the bullish bias.
A break below the trend line support area or below the 0.7450 may open the doors for a larger correction in the short term in AUD/USD.
