So traders will be faced with a decision to bottom and go higher or break the 0.7128 level and continue the corrective move lower. Key decision time for the pair and for traders as their delayed start to the new week begins.

A key release this week in Australia will be the CPI data for the 1Q (0130 GMT on April 24). The expectations are for a 0.2% increase (was 0.5% in 4Q) and YoY of 1.5% (down from 1.8%). Moving away from the 2.0% target is not bullish for the AUDUSD.

CPI inflation is expected to move to 1.5% in Q1 when released on April 24
