FxWirePro: AUD/USD struggles at 50-DMA, good to go short on break below

  • AUD/USD edges higher from session lows at 0.7614 after Aussie buoyed by strong China's industrial profits data. 
     
  • Data released earlier today showed China's industrial profits rose a combined 31.5% in January and February from the same period a year earlier.
     
  • Downside bias in the pair intact, we see no major signs of reversal.
     
  • The pair is currently struggling to close below 50-DMA support currently at 0.7623.
     
  • Break below will see further downside, test of trendline support at 0.7580 then likely.

Support levels - 0.7610 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.7160 to 0.7749 rally), 0.7580 (trendline), 0.7546 (200-DMA)

Resistance levels - 0.7649 (5-DMA), 0.77, 0.7740 (Feb 23 high)
