AUD/USD Price Analysis: Off intraday low as 10-day SMA probes monthly support break

• AUD/USD extends Tuesday’s losses, keeps downside break of a support line stretched from November 02.
• RSI eases from higher range, backs further downside.
• 0.7340 becomes the key upside barrier, for now.

AUD/USD pulls back from the day’s low of 0.7271, to currently around 0.7286, during early Wednesday. Although 10-day SMA restricts the pair’s immediate downside, downward sloping RSI joins break of short-term support line, now resistance, to favor the sellers.

As a result, AUD/USD bears are waiting for clear declines past-10-day SMA, at 0.7278 now, for fresh entries. In doing so, the October high near 0.7245 and the 50-day SMA level of 0.7175 will become their targets.

It should, however, be noted that the 0.7200 round-figure may offer an intermediate halt between 0.7245 and 0.7175 supports.

Meanwhile, corrective pullback beyond the previous support, near 0.7295 now, will need to cross the 0.7300 round-figure to challenge the monthly high, flashed twice, of 0.7340.

In a case where the AUD/USD bulls manage to cross 0.7340, the mid-September high near 0.7345 can test the strength of upside momentum towards the 0.7400 threshold that holds the key to further north-run eyeing April high of 0.7415.
