Short
FX:AUDUSD   Australian Dollar / U.S. Dollar
AUD/USD extends decline, hits fresh 11-week lows at 0.7199, in a knee-jerk reaction to weak Australian jobs report.

Australia's unemployment rate held steady at 5.7% in March, while 10,800 jobs were added, below expectations of a 12,000 net increase.

The labor force participation rate unexpectedly fell from 64.9% in March to 64.8% last month, the lowest in almost a year.

Price action has dipped below weekly cloud. Technicals support further downside, pair on track to test 78.6% Fib at 0.7043.

Hawkish FOMC minutes document will continue to underpin the buck at the expense of the AUD.

AUD/USD finds immediate support at 0.71 (double bottom Feb 15th and 29th), while immediate resistance is seen at 0.7212 (61.8% Fib).

Good to short rallies around 0.72/0.7210, SL: 0.73, TP: 0.7145/0.71/0.7045
