  • GBP/AUD struggles to extend gains above 100-DMA. We see further upside only on break above.
     
  • The pair is trading in a narrow range with a day's high at 1.7963 and a low of 1.7931.
     
  • Technical studies are biased higher. Momentum bullish with RSI strong and rising.
     
  • We evidence bullish divergence on Stochs which adds to the upside bias. 
     
  • Decisive break above 100-DMA targets 61.8% Fib at 1.8082. Breach there could see further upside.
     
  • On the flipside, 55-EMA is strong support at 1.7845, break below could see minor weakness.
     
  • Violation at 200-DMA to invalidate bullish bias. 

Support levels - 1.79, 1.7885 (5-DMA), 1.7845 (55-EMA)

Resistance levels - 1.7942 (100-DMA), 1.80, 1.8080 (61.8% Fib), 1.81

Recommendation: Stay long on close above 100-DMA, SL: 1.79, TP: 1.80/ 1.8080/ 1.81
