AUD/USD 4-hour chart
On the 4-hour chart, the AUD/USD pair has been facing stiff resistance near the descending trendline from the high in the vicinity of the 0.7600 area made on Wednesday.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) trades below the midline with a neutral stance. Any downtick in the MACD would intensify the selling pressure.
In doing so, the bears could capture the 0.7465 and the 0.7445 horizontal support levels.
Next, the low made on Friday at 0.7409 will be on the AUD/USD bears radar.
Alternatively, if price breaks the bearish slope line, then it could reverse the prevailing trend and move north.
The first target for bulls in line will be the 0.7500 key psychological mark.
A close above the 1.2500 would open the gates for the 0.7520 horizontal resistance level, followed by the high of Wednesday at 0.7535.
