- GBP/AUD upside post BoE rate decision and hawkish guidance paused at 100-DMA at 1.6790.
- BoE left policy unchanged with a vote 7-2 to keep interest rates at record low level of 0.25%, as widely expected.
- The statement and the minutes were perceived as hawkish and comments from Governor Mark Carney that followed boosted the pound further.
- Carney reaffirmed what the BoE said in the statement and added that the possibility of a rate hike has risen.
- Technical studies in the pair are bullish, break above 100-DMA will see upside accentuate.
- Scope for test of cloud top at 1.6880. Breakout above daily cloud will see further gains.
Support levels - 1.6731 (38.2% Fib), 1.6658 (200-DMA), 1.6595
Resistance levels - 1.6790 (100-DMA), 1.6880 (cloud top), 1.69 (50% Fib retrace of 1.7650 to 1.61625 fall)
