AUD/USD fell from 0.7460 to 0.7420 overnight and remains on the backfoot, with bears eeking out a score of 0.7411 in Asia. Looking at the weekly and daily charts, the outlook remains bearish until weekly and daily support structures as illustrated below.

From the daily chart's perspective, there is some room to go to the downside until the prior resistance looking left. Currently, the neckline of the M-formation aligns with the 23.6% ratio, but the 38.2%, a preferred Fibonacci level, would align with the same resistance once the price reaches the aforementioned downside target and presumed support area.
