FxWirePro: AUD/USD closes bearish gap, takes 5-DMA support at 0.7943

• Rising tensions in the Korean Peninsula after N.Korea successfully tested its sixth nuclear bomb keeps demand subdued for high-yielding assets.
   
• Disappointing US labour market report (Fri) dents Dec Fed rate hike expectations, weighing on sentiment around the US dollar.
   
• AUD/USD opened with a bearish gap in the Asian session.
   
• The pair has since edged higher after taking support at 5-DMA at 0.7943. We see weakness only on break below.
   
• The pair is trading a symmetric triangle pattern and triangle breakout could provide direction.
   
• Bearish divergence on Stochs keeps scope for downside. Break above 0.80 handle could negate bearish bias.
   
• Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) monetary policy decision, followed by Governor Lowe’s speech, due Sept 5th will be in Focus.
   
• Also, due on Wednesday is the country’s Q2 GDP which will provide further direction.
