• GBP/ AUD rose sharply on Thursday   as expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of England (BoE)   supported the pound.

• The BoE has already raised interest rates twice since December - lifting rates to 0.5% from 0.1% - and financial markets expect a further rate rise to 0.75% or 1% on March 17.

• The pair currently is approaching resistance at 38.2%fib. A break above would unmask 1.9000 level in the short term.

• Technical signals show the pair could gain more ground in the short-term as RSI is at 52,while moving averages and MACD are trending higher. 

• Immediate resistance is located at 1.8972( 38.2%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 1.9038 (23.6%fib).

• Immediate support is seen at 1.8921 (50%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 1.8871 (61.8%fib).
