FxWirePro: GBP /AUD under pressure after early buying dries up

• GBP /AUD  eased on Friday  after data showed UK retail sales fell more than expected in June.

• British retail sales volumes fell by more than expected in June, after unseasonably cooler weather put off shoppers, official figures showed on Friday.

•Sales volumes dropped by 1.2% last month after a 2.9% jump in May, the Office for National Statistics said.

• GBP /AUD   bulls are reluctant to probe for new highs   as the data added no new hawkish BoE rate expectations.

• Immediate resistance is located at 1.9361(23.6% fib), any close above will push the pair towards 1.9423 (April 17th high).

• Immediate support is seen at 1.9281(38.2% fib) and break below could take the pair towards 1.9212 (50% fib).

Recommendation: Good to sell   around 1.9320, with stop loss of 1.9400 and target price of 1.9250.
