A correction up to around 0.72600 possibly touching 0.73.Down side sentiment remains, however, and selling pressure could resume before. Keep an eye on 0.7220 minor resistance.

Weekly. It is a sign of weakness that AUDUSD couldn’t keep upside momentum after breaking medium term falling trend line. Now trading back below the trend line and hovering around 200 weekly Simple Moving Average the medium term up trend is cancelled.
Trading below declining 55 weekly SMA indicating underlying sentiment is bearish. A re-test of strong key support at 0.70 within a couple of weeks is not unlikely.

To reverse the likely new highs scenario a break below 90.40 is needed.
