FxWirePro: AUD/USD declines for 4th straight session, breaks below 5-DMA, bias lower

• AUD/USD accelerated decline on Wednesday on bullish FOMC outcome, slipped below 5-DMA support.
   
• Dollar strengthened as Fed said they expect economic conditions to evolve in a manner that will warrant further rate hikes.
   
• Aussie sold-off following disappointing Building Permits data for the month of December also weighing on the pair.
   
• Technical studies support weakness, bearish divergence on RSI and Stochs keep scope for downside. Stochs and RSI are showing rollover from overbought levels.
   
• Price has broken immediate support at 1H 200-SMA (currently at 0.8055). Scope now for test of 0.7986 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.7501 to 0.8135 rally).

Support levels - 0.80 (psychological level), 0.7986 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.7501 to 0.8135 rally)

Resistance levels - 0.8074 (5-DMA), 0.8125 (2017 high)
