FxWirePro: AUD/USD capped at 0.81 handle, bearish Stochs divergence raises scope for downside

• AUD/USD in the red for the 2nd straight session, as US Dollar finds its footing again.
   
• The major pauses its stellar rally, edges lower from 2-1/2 year highs at 0.8035.
   
• Upside in the pair remains capped at 0.81 handle, intraday bias slightly bearish.
   
• We evidence bearish divergence from price action on RSI and Stochs which raises scope for downside.
   
• Stochs are at overbought levels and RSI is on verge of rollover from overbought levels.
   
• Price ignores bullish engulfing pattern, slips lower to test 5-DMA at 0.8072. Close below will see further downside.
   
• Immediate major support lies at 1H 200-SMA at 0.8036. Scope then for test of 0.7986 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.7501 to 0.8135 rally) on break below.

Support levels - 0.8072 (5 DMA), 0.8036 (1H 200-SMA), 0.80, 0.7986 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.7501 to 0.8135 rally)

Resistance levels - 0.8125 (2017 high), 0.8166 (50% Fib retrace of 0.9505 to 0.6827 fall), 0.8220 (channel top)

Recommendation: Watch out from break below 5-DMA for further downside, target 0.8035/ 0.80/ 0.7985.
