AUDUSD traded to a high of 0.7314 last week before pulling back and Friday’s sell-off erased Wednesday’s strong gains. The pullback is a concern for bulls and a deeper retracement would expose support at 0.7130, the Jan 7 low. Clearance of this support would strengthen a bearish case. A turn higher and importantly a break of 0.7314, would resume the recent upleg. This would open 0.7348, a former channel base.
