GBPAUD due a rally?

Recommended Posts

Following on from my thoughts on commodities and AUD plus with a ST bullish stance on GBP it seems sensible to look at GBPAUD.  This market had a great Short set up pre Brexit, which I was in but alas the Brexit margin increase fiasco put paid to a very good position...

 

After such a persistent Bear move it might be stupid to suggest a Long but all markets need a retrace to recharge the dominant move (so to speak).  GBPAUD seems to have hit a decent support zone for such a retrace and now I have a break up through short term resistance.  I can't rule out a ST retrace back down as GBPUSD is also doing but AUD is weak just now and this cross can keep running with little pause.  A confirmed break sets up an EWT 1-2 retrace before a resumption of the long term trend, which indicates a rally to the post Brexit price gap resistance zone.

 

I also attach the Monthly chart for perspective although it is not particularly useful owing to insufficient history (IG can you do something about that?).

 

Wild!  Just as I was writing AUDUSD took off down!

Interesting set up on the GBPAUD hourly chart.  I have multiple Long trading trigger points since the low and another forming in an ascending Triangle fashion.  A breakout of this formation is likely to be strong so Long stop in above is my play.  My longer term time frames (inc the Daily previously posted) indicate a target in the 18000 area before a conclusion to what is likely to be a retrace and then followed by a strong drop in line with a GBPUSD drop.

GBPAUD retrace rally is well underway, I have been Long on this since the break of the previous down-sloping tramline and now there is a possible breakout above the upper line that has provided multiple touch resistance since it was broken through to the down side on 1 July.  As such a confirmed break with a close above, coupled with GBPUSD strength and AUDUSD sluggishness suggests my forecast for a retrace to the Brexit gap may well be on.  I am seeing a similar target on all the GBP crosses (GBPUSD and GBPJPY at least) plus EURUSD.

 

Perhaps the attainment of the gap closure will also be a harbinger for wider USD rally?  One to watch.

With GBPUSD apparently trying to rally and EURUSD and USDJPY possibly joining in a general USD weakness seems to be pervading the FX markets just now.  It remains to be seen whether AUSUSD rallies or hits resistance and drops away (see separate post).  The latter would bring up the possibility or a GBPAUD rally (part 2), which of course could still happen if AUDUSD rallies and GBPUSD rallies harder.

 

GBPAUD broke through a Daily chart resistance tramline recently and is now retesting it.  If this holds then a rally up towards the post Brexit price gap is still on.  For my money a failed test of the Fib 76% and tramline on the AUSUSD would be ideal to support this.  It is going to be an interesting Triad to watch over the coming days.

    • GBPUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart,     British Pound/U.S.Dollar(GBPUSD) Day Chart   GBPUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Counter Trend                               MODE: Impulsive as A                           STRUCTURE:  red wave 3                           POSITION:  blue wave A                               DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER  DEGREES: blue wave 4                             DETAILS:red wave 2 of A completed at 1.17096 , now red wave 3 is in play . Wave Cancel invalid level:  1.27096       The GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis for the Daily Chart explores the British Pound versus the U.S. Dollar using the Elliott Wave framework. This analysis provides a structured view of the market trends, focusing on counter-trend waves and their implications for traders and analysts.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Counter Trend," suggesting that the observed wave patterns represent a phase that moves against the prevailing longer-term trend. This could imply a corrective movement within a broader trend, indicating a temporary reversal or consolidation before the primary trend resumes.   ### Mode The mode is categorized as "Impulsive as A," indicating that the current wave structure represents an impulsive move typically found at the beginning of a new wave cycle. This mode generally suggests a strong, directional movement, often indicating the initial stages of a larger trend shift.   ### Structure The structure is noted as "red wave 3," highlighting an impulsive wave that typically denotes a continuation of a broader trend. Red wave 3 within this context could signify a strong push in the counter-trend direction.   ### Position The position in the Elliott Wave sequence is "blue wave A," indicating that the observed pattern is part of an impulsive phase. This position often aligns with a larger correction within a broader trend, suggesting that the current impulsive phase is still part of a counter-trend movement.   ### Direction for the Next Higher Degrees The anticipated direction for the next higher degrees is "blue wave 4," indicating that once the current wave completes, the structure will likely transition to a corrective phase. Blue wave 4 typically represents a temporary retracement within a broader impulsive pattern.   ### Details The analysis specifies that red wave 2 of wave A completed at 1.17096, with red wave 3 now in play. This implies that the current impulsive wave is expected to continue, potentially leading to a broader counter-trend movement. The Wave Cancel invalid level is set at 1.27096, indicating a critical threshold. If the price crosses this level, it would invalidate the current wave structure, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave count.   In summary, the GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the Daily Chart describes a counter-trend movement with an impulsive mode, focusing on red wave 3 within blue wave A. The structure is expected to continue its impulsive trend, with a Wave Cancel invalid level serving as a key point for determining if the current analysis remains valid.         GBPUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4 Hour Chart,     British Pound/U.S.Dollar(GBPUSD) 4 Hour Chart   GBPUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend                               MODE: corrective                           STRUCTURE: black wave 2                           POSITION: red wave 3                               DIRECTION NEXT LOWER DEGREES: black wave 3                             DETAILS: black wave of 2 is in play and likely to end between fib level 50.00 to 61.80 . Wave Cancel invalid level: 1.27096       The GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the 4-Hour Chart provides insights into the British Pound versus the U.S. Dollar within the framework of Elliott Wave Theory. This analysis helps traders understand the underlying wave structure and anticipate potential market movements.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Trend," indicating that the overall market movement aligns with a broader trend. In this case, the trend reflects a continuation pattern where market waves are forming in a way that aligns with the primary direction of the trend.   ### Mode The mode is labeled as "corrective," suggesting that the current wave structure represents a correction within a larger trend. Corrective modes typically signify a temporary pullback or consolidation, indicating that the price is currently in a counter-trend phase.   ### Structure The structure in this analysis is specified as "black wave 2," which represents an intermediate-level correction. This wave generally appears within a larger trend to correct an earlier impulsive movement, signaling a potential retracement before the larger trend resumes.   ### Position The position in the wave pattern is "red wave 3," indicating that the corrective structure is situated within a broader Elliott Wave framework. Red wave 3 represents a key point in the corrective phase, suggesting an ongoing retracement that could lead to a shift in trend direction.   ### Direction for the Next Lower Degrees The expected direction for the next lower degrees is indicated as "black wave 3." This suggests that once the correction completes, the wave pattern will likely transition to a more impulsive phase, potentially indicating a continuation of the broader trend.   ### Details The analysis details that black wave 2 is currently in play and is expected to conclude between the 50.00 and 61.80 Fibonacci retracement levels. This range often indicates a common end for corrective waves, signifying a potential turning point in the trend. The Wave Cancel invalid level is set at 1.27096, suggesting that if the price crosses this point, the current wave structure is invalidated, requiring a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave count.   In summary, the GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the 4-Hour Chart describes a trend with a corrective mode, indicating that black wave 2 is nearing completion, with a potential transition to a more impulsive black wave 3. The end of this correction between the 50.00 and 61.80 Fibonacci levels might suggest the resumption of the primary trend, with a critical invalidation point to consider for risk management.   Technical Analyst : Malik Awais   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
