FX GBPUSD, EURGBP, AUDUSD, USDCAD, Technical Analysis daily 100516

GBPUSD

The shallow pullback in GBPUSD has meant that losses have been contained, and for now the $1.44 area, and the 100-day SMA nearby have acted to constrain further downside. A push above $1.45 is needed to indicate the pullback has run its course, otherwise we wait to see whether the pair can break below $1.44, which would then open the way to $1.4305, towards the 50-day SMA.

EURGBP

The bounce in this pair appears to have run its course, with the gains petering out around the 0.7900 area. A move lower would need a break below the 50-day SMA at 0.7873, which would then raise the possibility of a move to the late April lows below 0.7750. Any continuation of the rally must clear the highs of Monday, around 0.7930.

AUDUSD

With risk appetite recovering around the globe, we may see the Aussie following suit. However, it will need to breach $0.74 in the first instance to suggest that a rally is in the offing. The risk now is that, like indices on Monday, one final move lower is in the offing, so we wait to see whether the pair can push on above $0.74 or whether it will turn lower and then head towards Monday’s lows at $0.73.

USDCAD

The rally here has come a long way in a very short space of time, but now it has reached the 50-day SMA (C$1.2987). If it can push on above here then more gains may be in store, with targets in the direction of C$1.3264, the 200-day SMA. The bounce has provided little in the way of meaningful pullbacks, so a move back down to the Thursday low around C$1.2832 could provide a fresh entry point for those expecting an extension of the rally into the second half of this week.
