GBP/AUD Brexit Bear?

Here is one that may cheer the Brexit Bears out there, I think this pair is showing very Bearish in the long term.

Looking at the Monthly chart ( I wish I had more data further back on this one!) it seems like a long term decline, not surprising given that Australia missed out on the Credit crunch recession and have had a euphoric domestic housing market bull run.  AUDUSD has been in decline since mid 2011, coincident with the commodities peak and drop (a major impacting factor not to be overlooked - i.e. you have to analyse commodities for anything to do with AUD even if you don't want to trade commodities!  Markets are connected).  On GBP/AUD there has been a steady decline to Q1 2013 then a sharp rally and equally share counter rally ending in the GBP flash crash with a double bottom.  At face value this looks like the beginning of a strong rally in GBP/AUD, and this is a possible scenario.  A double bottom and jump away in such a strong fashion is Bullish in nature.

Looking at the Weekly chart, we can see the W1 [purple] top and double bottom pin bar spike up on GBP flash crash but what is interesting is that all of the price action since then has been contained in a large Triangle (which could be a massive Pennant - Bearish!).  If it is a Pennant and the Pennant occurs at halfway on the motive wave then this pair could drop as low a 10,000 area (theoretical at present).  This Triangle has had a breakout of late and a failed retest and is now moving back down.  Zooming in on the Weekly chart (Version A) I can see a Classic Head & Shoulders formation (blue circles) and neckline break and retest (at the top of the Triangle), again very Bearish.  Note also a significant negative momentum divergence on the Weekly chart at the top of the Pennant (at pink 1) 

Now let's look at the Daily chart.  We can see the underside of the Large scale Triangle (purple line) and a Retrace Triangle (blue lines) both of which have had breakouts to the Bearish side.  Note a momentum divergence at the failed retest of the Large Pennant.  The price action is following a 1-2 series of retraces ever diminishing and if concluded to the downside will culminate if a strong bearish move.  Not also yet another H&S formation with a neckline down around the 17,300 mark.

Looking at the Hourly chart I we can see that set of 1-2 retraces I was mentioned above.  There was, and perhaps still is a chance the retrace will carry back to the 18,300 mark but the pin bar earlier today and fast move down from there is Bearish.  A break of the recent support around 17,950 would confirm my analysis for me, although a retrace back to that support/resistance zone post breakout cannot be ruled out.

Long term scenarios:

Looking back at the Monthly Chart I can see 2 scenarios that could play out as follows:

  1. The double bottom marks the lower point and the current bearish move is a retrace (pink 1-2) that will conclude and rally around the 16,000 area.  For this to happen though AUD needs to fall a lot more slowly vs USD than GBP and every other currency probably and more likely even rally.  I wonder what could support such a scenario...?
  2. The 16,000 mark is broken through and this pair carries our down to wherever!

Note in either scenario there should be a move down to the 16,000 mark!  Unless I am completely wrong and GBP catches a massive bid while AUD languishes...

    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis Gold Elliott Wave Analysis: Strong Rally with More Upside Expected Gold has broken out of its 3-week range and surged to a new record high, continuing its highly profitable run for investors in 2024. Since ending a prolonged 51-month bearish phase from the September 2011 peak in September 2022, the yellow metal has appreciated nearly 60%. This impressive rally shows no signs of stopping in the short term, but traders should be cautious about entering new positions at elevated levels. Here's a detailed analysis from an Elliott Wave perspective.   Long-Term Chart Analysis On the daily chart, Gold has been in a steady bullish trend since December 2015. According to Elliott Wave theory, the market completed the supercycle degree wave (IV) in September 2022. This marked the end of the 51-month bearish phase that started in September 2011. The completion of wave (IV) set the stage for a new impulsive wave (V), which is currently unfolding.   Within this wave (V), waves I and II were completed in May and October 2023, respectively. Gold is now progressing in wave (3) of 3 (circled) of wave III. Wave (3) is a powerful impulse wave that is driving prices higher, and it is currently in its final stage, labeled as wave 5 of (3). This final leg of wave (3) is also forming an impulsive structure, indicating that the bullish momentum remains strong. The strength of the current uptrend suggests that traders should consider buying pullbacks, as these dips could offer attractive entry points for long positions. Long-term investors can also continue to hold, as the broader trend remains firmly bullish, and there is potential for more upside.   Daily Chart Analysis From a closer look at the daily chart, the ongoing advance in wave (3) is part of a larger impulsive structure. Wave (3) of 3 (circled) has been particularly strong, and within this wave, the final phase (wave 5 of (3)) is approaching completion. This suggests that while the uptrend is intact, the market may soon face a period of consolidation or a minor corrective pullback before resuming its upward trajectory. For now, Gold is likely to continue its advance toward new highs. Traders should focus on timing their entries during pullbacks to maximize profit potential, while long-term buyers are advised to stay the course and hold their positions as wave (V) continues to unfold.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the structure of wave 5 of (3) is more clearly visible. The sub-waves that comprise this final phase started forming in late June 2024. At this point, waves i and ii (circled) within wave 5 of (3) have already completed, and Gold is currently advancing in wave iii (circled). Zooming further into wave iii (circled), we can see that the price is in wave iii of (iii), which is often the most powerful part of an impulse wave. This sub-wave is expected to drive Gold toward the 2750 level in the coming weeks. However, traders should avoid buying from current highs, as entering at the top of a strong rally could expose positions to near-term pullbacks. Instead, waiting for decent corrections will offer better entry opportunities for long positions.   Conclusion Gold remains in a strong bullish trend, with the Elliott Wave structure suggesting further upside potential. The market is advancing in wave (3) of 3 (circled) of wave III, with the next major target being around the 2750 level. While the trend remains robust, traders are advised to wait for pullbacks to enter new long positions rather than chasing the current highs. Long-term investors can maintain their positions, as the broader outlook continues to favor further gains. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
