The hidden bearish divergence is something that traders should be aware of in case there is a short to the downside.

The HBD will offer additional conviction to those seeking to short the Aussie should there be a disappointment in the data.

0.7320 will be key in this regard as it is the last defence following a potential trendline support break and a break there opens risk to a significant downside continuation in the coming sessions.

On the upside, the bulls will want to clear the trendline resistance with price already above the 50-EMA:
