- AUD/USD declined on Tuesday as dollar was buoyed by the perception that the Federal Reserve would most likely raise interest rates at the next meeting.
- Investors expect Federal Reserve would raise short-term interest rates by a quarter point to 0.50-0.75 percent at its policy meeting next Tuesday and Wednesday.
- The pair remains under bears control unless until it trades below 0.7497 resistance level, therefore it is good to sell this pair on rallies.

- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 0.7446, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 0.7413.
