AUD/USD Technical Analysis; Charts point to re-test of 0.73

• The bull flag breakout seen in the AUD/USD chart indicates a resumption of the rally from the Sept. 17 low of 0.7144 and has opened the doors to 0.74 (target as per the measured move method).
• The rally to 0.74 may not materialize if the Fed dot plot shifts higher, signaling the interest rates could rise above the neutral rate of 2.87 percent.
• Nevertheless, the bull flag breakout can yield a test of the recent high of 0.73 in the runup to Fed.
