Medium Term Strategy: Forex Pair of the day

EUR/GBP – rebound

The pair has broken above a falling wedge upper boundary and remains supported by he 50-days moving average. Moreover, the daily RSI is well directed above its neutrality area. Then, as long as 0.7110 holds as a support, further advance is likely with August 24 top at 0.7420 as a first target. A break above this threshold would call for further bounce towards the previous overlap at 0.76 and towards the strong horizontal resistance at 0.7740 in extension. Only a break below 0.7110 would call for a trend reversal with a first alternative target set at July 17 bottom at 0.6930 and a second one set at 0.6815.

 

Intraday Technical Strategy

AUD/USD Intraday: rebound.

Pivot 0.6980
Our preference Long positions above 0.698 with targets @ 0.706 & 0.709 in extension.
Alternative scenario Below 0.698 look for further downside with 0.6935 & 0.69 as targets.
Comment The RSI is mixed to bullish.
