AUD/USD Technical Analysis: 0.7300 level is a tough resistance - Aussie set for small bear move

AUD/USD main bear trend is being challenged as the market is trading near the 50-day simple moving average (DMA) and the multi-month bear trendline from late January 2018. Bulls want to breakout above those levels.
However, in the short-term, AUD/USD is capped by 0.7300 figure, the 50-day simple moving average (DMA) and the multi-month bear trendline.
A mild pullback down seems likely with 0.7236 (August 24 low) and 0.7200 figure as potential bear targets.
