"AUD/USD is seeing recovery from the 2016 uptrend, currently located at .7429. The rebound has gained some traction and has reached the 55 day ma at .7580. The market appears to be in no hurry to break lower at this point."  
– Commerzbank (based on FXStreet) 

Pair's Outlook 
On Tuesday the Aussie continued to making baby steps towards the three-year down-trend. However, gains were limited by the immediate resistance, as was expected, preventing the AUD/USD pair from climbing over 0.7560. Today the commodity currency is under higher risk of experiencing a decline. First of all, technical indicators keep giving bearish signals, second, a potential market mover is present, namely the FOMC Statement. Moreover, during the Asian session the pair approached the three-year down-trend, which could add more pressure and ultimately trigger a sell-off today, causing trade to close in the red zone. 

Traders' Sentiment 
Bears are now in the majority, with 53% of all open positions being short, whereas the share of pending orders remains unchanged at 51%.
