The AUD/USD pair is looking heavy while heading into China Caixin PMI release, which is expected to show the manufacturing sector in the world’s second-largest economy contracted in January.
Hourly chart
As seen above, the relative strength index (RSI) has produced lower highs as opposed to higher highs on price. The bearish divergence has likely opened the doors to the bullish 50-hour moving average (MA) support, currently at 0.7237.
The bearish pattern, however, would fail if China January Caixin PMI prints above 50.00, signaling expansion in the manufacturing sector.
Trend: mildly bearish
