AUDUSD Technical AnalysisThe Aussie Dollar traded lower and breached an important support area of 0.7400 against the US dollar during the Asian session. There was a lot of bearish pressure witnessed that ignited a downside reaction, but later the AUDUSD pair managed to come back above 0.7400.However, there is a bearish trend line formed on the hourly chart, which stalled the upside in the pair on many occasions. The recent failure was also around the highlighted trend line which ignited a down-move. Currently, the pair is around the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 0.7531 high to 0.7391 low. It might struggle to trade above the mentioned fib level, but if there is a break, then the bearish trend line could come into action one more time.On the downside, the last low of 0.7391 is seen as a support area. A break below the same may perhaps take the pair towards 0.7360. The hourly RSI is below the 50 level, pointing towards the amount of bearish pressure on the pair.In short, the AUDUSD pair remains in a downtrend and more losses cannot be discarded as long as the highlighted bearish trend line is valid and active.Japanese Current AccountEarlier during the Asian session, the Japanese Current Account, i.e. a net flow of current transactions, including goods, services, and interest payments into and out of Japan was released by the Ministry of Finance.
