AUDUSD is trading higher following the RBA rate announcement. Price has traded above the 20-day EMA and attention turns to resistance at the 50-day EMA which intersects at 0.6711. A clear breach of this average is required to suggest scope for a stronger bounce. This would open 0.6772, the Apr 20 high. On the downside, key support to watch lies at 0.6565, the Mar 10 low. Clearance of this level would resume the downtrend that started on Feb 2.
