FxWirePro: AUD/USD capped below 20-DMA, edges lower on Australia employment data miss

• AUD/USD halts FOMC-led gains, trades 0.24% lower on the day.
   
• Less hawkish FOMC outcome induced broad-based US dollar weakness, AUD/USD hit session highs of 0.7783.
   
• The pair failed to extend gains as Aussie dampened by a big miss in Australian employment figures released earlier today.
   
• Data released by Australia Bureau of Statistics showed Australia unemployment rate ticked higher to 5.6 percent in February even as the economy added 17.500 jobs.
   
• Technical studies are also bearish. But bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs keeps scope for upside in the pair.
   
• 20-DMA at 0.7791 is immediate resistance. Break above could see test of 200-DMA at 0.7805.
   
• On the flipside, 5-DMA at 0.7724 is immediate support. We see weakness on break below.

Recommendation: Watch out for break below 5-DMA for further weakness.
