GBPAUD 30min Chart
Notes: The GBPAUD looks to be posting an outside reversal candle after rebounding off resistance at the 200-day moving average at 1.8138. Today’s decline has broken TL support dating back to the July 2013 lows and marks the largest daily range since March 18th. In that instance, the pair broke below support at the 1.83 handle and shed another 2.41% before bottoming nearly a month later.
On the back of this morning’s BoE quarterly inflation report, the pound is likely to remain under some pressure and we’ll look to sell rallies in the pair while below the August opening range high at 1.8191. Keep in mind that longer-term, the early 2014 head & shoulders break still targets objectives into 1.7063/97. Use caution heading into Friday’s event risk with the release of the preliminary 2Q GDP figures likely to spur added volatility in sterling crosses.
