Technical Analysis – GBPAUD at 17-month high but bearish pressure intensifies

GBPAUD has almost completed a 17-month long round-trip as it is currently testing the January 28, 2022 high. It has been an impressive 20% rally since the September 2022 lows with the price action religiously obeying the September 26, 2022 upward sloping trendline. The recent pattern of higher highs remains in place, but the June 12 lower low is not a positive signal for the bulls.
G

GBPAUD is hovering just above the 1.8517 level, testing the support set by the September 26, 2022 upward sloping trendline. This is a key moment for this pair as a break below this long-term trendline would open the door to a much stronger correction, cancelling the recent bullish pattern of higher highs. The anticipation is depicted in most momentum indicators.
G

GBPAUD is trading a tad below the busy 1.8701-1.8724 area, a sizeable correction following the April 28, 2023 high of 1.9034. This was the highest print for almost 15 months, with the pair also recording an impressive 18% increase since the September 26, 2022 low of 1.5937. The bears have a long way to go before declaring a short victory especially as the September 26, 2022 upward trendline awaits them a tad below the current levels.

Will a slowdown in UK inflation change the BoE’s plans? – Forex News Preview

With the BoE leaving the door open to more rate hikes at its latest gathering, pound traders will probably be sitting on the edge of their seats in anticipation of next week’s inflation numbers, scheduled to be released on Wednesday at 06:00 GMT. However, they could somewhat readjust their positions the day before, as they will get an idea of how the UK economy has been performing this month through the preliminary PMIs.

RBA hopes for stronger data to avoid “policy mistake” discussion – Forex News Preview

With the market still digesting the recent central banks’ announcements, the focus in Australia now shifts to incoming economic data. Next week will give us more information on the consumer sector, with the RBA hoping that these data releases justify its recent surprise rate hike. In the meantime, the aussie would clearly love another push, especially as most of the gains recorded after the May 2 move have evaporated.

GBPAUD is edging higher today but it remains a tad below the April 28, 2023 high of 1.9034. This is the highest print for almost 15 months, with the pair also recording an impressive 18% increase since the September 26, 2022 low of 1.5937.

Daily Market Comment – Dollar resumes slide, pound awaits CPI data and budget

Dollar under pressure after Brainard’s comments Pound traders turn gaze to inflation and fiscal agenda Wall Street closes in the red despite gains elsewhere Dollar comes back under pressure The US dollar traded higher against all but two of the other major currencies on Monday, helped by remarks from Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who warned that the Fed would not “soften” its fight against inflation, although they may consider slowing the pace of their future rate increases.

GBPAUD plunged by 2.2% and straight towards the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) after a failed attempt to surpass the seven-month high of 1.8210. The 20- and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs) seem to be acting as support levels once again at 1.7420 and 1.7185 respectively, though the price needs to break the 1.7705 region first. Also, the aforementioned lines are containing the 1.7315 support as well, so any declines below these levels may switch the outlook to bearish.
