AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Falling trendline intact ahead of the RBA rate decision

  • For the AUD, the path of least resistance remains to the downside, as indicated by the falling trendline on the hourly chart.
  • The pair looks set to re-test Friday’s low of 0.7166 and could see deeper losses if the Reserve Bank of Australia adopts a dovish stance.
  • Many in the markets do expect the central bank to turn dovish, courtesy of the recent developments: rise in mortgage costs for Australian holders, weak economic data and escalating trade tensions. As a result, a corrective rally above the falling trendline could be seen if the RBA retains the neutral stance.
