FxWirePro: GBP/AUD rejected at highs, 5-DMA at 1.7212 caps upside

  • GBP/AUD failed to break below minor support at 1.7066 on Wednesday's trade. Caution prevails ahead of UK elections.
     
  • UK election will shape up next direction for the pound in the coming months.
     
  • Should the UK election fails to deliver any winner and results in a hung parliament, pound is likely to see major impact.
     
  • On the other side, a Conservatives’ victory could provide the much-needed impetus to pound.
     
  • Brexit negotiations and the possibility of ‘Hard Brexit’ still to keep pressure on the pound.
     
  • GBP/AUD is currently holding minor support at 1.7066 (May 2 low), break below will accentuate weakness.
     
  • RSI below 50, biased south. Stochs are also biased lower and MACD supports trend lower.
     
  • Technical indicators on weekly charts are also biased lower, RSI points south, while Stocks are on verge of rollover from overbought zone.

Support levels - 1.7100 (50-DMA), 1.7066 (May 2 low), 1.6983 (38.2% Fib of 1.5902 to 1.7650 rally)

Resistance levels - 1.7211 (5-DMA), 1.7238 (23.6% Fib), 1.7321 (20-DMA)

Recommendation: Good to go short on break below 1.7066, SL: 1.72, TP: 1.6990/ 1.6880/ 1.6780.
