AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Aussie trading back above 0.7400 ahead of Fed’s Powell Speech

  • The Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of the US, Jerome Powell is set to speak at 17:30 GMT which can cause a lot of volatility in USD-related pairs.  
  • AUD/USD has retraced about 61.8% of the losses made on Wednesday, suggesting that the pullback up might be coming to an end. Additionally, AUD/USD is trading inside a rising wedge which is a rather bearish clue.  
  • AUD/USD bulls will now try to defend the 0.7400 figure while bears will try hard to push below it.
