AUD/USD is offered below the 55-DMA at 0.7713

“AUD/USD spent last week capped by initial resistance at the 0.7663/93 late February low and late March high and also along the 55-day ma at 0.7713 and this leaves the market on the defensive.” 

“A close below the 0.7564 February low would probably trigger a slide to the 0.7463 December 21 low and the 0.7413 September high. The 200-day ma is in close proximity to this at 0.7411 and should hold the downside.”
