AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Intraday decline halts near 50% Fibo. level support
• The pair remained under some selling pressure for the second consecutive session and a break below 100-hour EMA was seen as a key trigger behind today's sharp intraday slide.
• The selling pressure now seems to have abated near the 0.7300 handle support, marking 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the 0.7238-0.7363 latest leg of up-move.
• Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have started gaining bearish momentum and hence, a follow-through selling should pave the way for the resumption of the previous bearish trend.
