AUD/USD drops below 0.78

AUD/USD stuck at technical resistance

The pair has repeatedly failed to sustain gains above 0.783-0.784 range for the last few sessions. The pair dropped to 0.74 levels after having failed once at 0.784 levels. The Aussie had recovered to trade at the pre-RBA rate cut level after the Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes revealed policymakers are in no rush to increase the interest rates.
