Current trend
Last week USD showed the greatest weakening so far this year and reached its 7-months minimum. A difficult situation for the new US administration radically decreased the trust of the investors in USD. Reserve assets and currencies received support and grew against US dollar. The pair AUD/USD reached its 2-weeks maximum. The daily chart shows that the price acting within the range of channel D1 (blue) moved from the lower border of channel H4 (black) and having broken through the levels of 0.7380 and 0.7440 is trading around the upper border of the channel. The consolidation of the price within this range will give additional support for further consolidation of the pair.
Today's macroeconomic statistics includes the news from the USA on the return on 6-months bills (17:30 GMT+2). The profitability of the bills has been growing for five weeks in a row, and if the tendency continues, it may give certain support to USD. In these circumstances the possibility of technical correction is high.

Support levels: 0.7380, 0.7310, 0.7270.
