Additionally, the RBA has maintained an accommodative stance, leaving the doors open for another rate cut this year."

"In the daily chat, the 20 SMA has fallen sharply alongside with the price, and now offers a strong dynamic resistance around the 0.7400 figure, whilst the technical indicators present strong bearish slopes below their mid-lines, all of which supports further declines."
