FxWirePro: AUD/USD edges higher from session lows at 0.7667, finds strong support at 20-DMA

• AUD/USD stalled declines and held strong 20-DMA support at 0.7667 to edge higher.
   
• Aussie dented on a sharp slowdown in the private sector credit growth. But upbeat current account deficit lent support.
   
• Australia's private sector credit printed at 0.2% m/m in January compared to 0.5% expected and down prior 0.7%. 
   
• While, Australia's Current Account deficit narrowed to AUD 3.9 bln from prior AUD 10.2 bln, better than forecasts for deficit to come in at AUD 4 bln.
   
• Trend remains higher, but bearish RSI divergence raises scope for downside in the pair. 
   
• We see reversal in trend only on break below 20-DMA at 0.7667. Test of 100-DMA at 0.7512 then likely.
   
• On the flipside, breakout above 5-DMA at 0.7688 could see test of trendline resistance at 0.7745 and then 0.7778 (Nov 8 high).

Support levels - 0.7665 (20-DMA), 0.7603 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.7161 to 0.7740 rally), 0.7550 (Feb 1st low)

Resistance levels - 0.7688 (5-DMA), 0.77, 0.7725 (Trendline), 0.7778 (Nov 8 high)
