AUDGBP trade ideas

Macroeconomic analysis, positioning, technical analysis. Short GHello everyone, today I want to share a trading idea that recently triggered my short entry. The GBP/AUD pair is hovering near period highs not seen since 2020. I think in the short term we might witness some pullback. Let’s analyze the situation. MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS - Data The latest data reflects a marked improvement in the Australian labor market, with the unemployment rate beating expectations. A rise to 4.2% was forecasted, but the figure dropped to 3.9%. This comes after the RBA decided to keep the reference rate unchanged, adopting a dovish tone compared to recent statements. It remains to be seen if this data could shift the narrative once again. - Economic growth The positioning and momentum on the pound indicate confidence that the economy could grow by 2025 or that inflation will remain stickier than expected. This affects the BOE’s monetary policy decisions. Interest rates have risen more than in other economies and are now at their peaks. On the other hand, the BOE recently adopted a dovish tone, suggesting the possibility of four rate cuts in 2025. In a recent article, Goldman Sachs highlighted that the UK’s growth might underperform expectations. UK GDP is expected to grow by 1.2% in 2025, slower than the Bank of England's 1.5% projection and slightly below Bloomberg's consensus estimate of 1.3%. The team predicts growth of 0.4% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the last quarter of 2024, with a slowdown to around 0.25–0.30% quarterly for the remainder of the year. They also foresee inflationary pressures easing through 2025, paving the way for deeper rate cuts than currently priced in by the market. www.goldmansachs.com - Interest rates Interest rates in the UK have risen more than in other economies, reaching a peak of 4.6%, reflecting aggressive rate policies. Meanwhile, AUD/USD movements appear closely tied to Chinese rates, which are at historic lows, potentially priming for a rebound and, consequently, a recovery in the cross, due to potential stimulus measures for the Chinese economy. POSITIONING - COT (Commitment of Traders) Let’s analyze the COT to check for extremes on either side. www.tradingster.com . Long positioning on the pound is at its highest since 2018, while for the Australian dollar, we are in negative territory after a decline. Momentum does not favor either currency, as traders are offloading or increasing short positions. SEASONALITY We are entering a period of strong negative seasonality for the pound, which typically tends to decline from the first week of December until the end of the month. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS From a chart perspective, the pair has just broken a dynamic trendline support on the 4H chart after a strong rally to period highs. The RSI clearly shows overbought conditions with bearish divergence. Entry: Upon the break or retest of the trendline. Stop Loss: Above the volume area signaling the break. Take Profit: Near the volume area supporting the price. Thanks for your attention!

GBPAUD move lower to mid point of trendMacro trendline is bullish. Alert placed around 1.99 for a short to 1.97 (200pips). Id like to see a internal liquidity sweep inside the 4H FVG and well inside the premium zone. Target would be 50% fib level and weekly support at 1.97. A break of this zone could see a deeper move to grab Liquidity at 1.95. News this week will determine the size of the move.. GBP news - unemployment rate - PPI - inflation rate - interest rate decision - retail sales (less important) This is an idea only, do your own research. Happy trading

GBP/AUD 4H Timeframe AnalysisGBP/AUD 4H Timeframe Analysis Trend Analysis: In the 4H timeframe, the GBP/AUD pair is currently in an uptrend, characterized by the formation of higher highs and higher lows. Recently, an inverted hammer doji formed at the 2.00500 level, followed by a bearish candle, indicating a potential price reversal. This reversal led to a break of a minor key support level, which has now turned into minor key resistance. The price has retraced and is now approaching this minor key resistance again, suggesting a potential accumulation of sell orders. Price Action Expectation: We anticipate that if the price breaks above the minor key resistance, it may trigger a manipulation phase that could liquidate many seller stop-loss positions placed above this level. Our primary objective is to wait for the price to break below the minor key resistance before entering a sell position. Trade Setup: Trade Type: Sell Stop Entry Price: 1.98440 (just below the minor key resistance) Stop Loss: 1.98860 (positioned above the liquidity zone to protect against adverse movements) Take Profit: 1.97170 (targeting the next key support level) Fundamental Outlook: Impact on GBP/AUD: Key economic indicators from the UK and Australia will significantly influence the GBP/AUD pair. Factors such as interest rate decisions, employment data, and inflation rates can affect the strength of both currencies. Positive Economic Data from the UK: If the UK releases stronger-than-expected economic data, it may bolster the GBP, potentially leading to a failure to break below the minor key resistance and resulting in bullish momentum. Negative Economic Data from Australia: Conversely, if Australian economic indicators show weakness, it could lead to increased selling pressure on the AUD, supporting our bearish outlook for GBP/AUD.

GBPAUD Breakout Trendline: Long-Term Bullish ConfirmationThe GBPAUD pair shows signs of a significant trend shift after successfully breaking out of a long-term resistance trendline formed since 2001. Based on trendline analysis, the price consistently experienced pullbacks whenever it touched the resistance line. This pattern is illustrated on the chart with blue arrows indicating previous pullback areas. In the most recent movement, the price has successfully broken out of this resistance trendline, signaling a potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish. The breakout is marked on the chart with an orange box, followed by a retest marked with a green arrow, further solidifying the breakout zone as a key confirmation. Breaking through the major resistance signifies a significant change in market dynamics, where buying pressure has overcome the previously dominant selling pressure. Breakouts often trigger short-covering by sellers and attract buying interest from other traders, creating bullish momentum. The broken resistance area typically transforms into new support, providing a strong foundation for the continuation of the upward trend. After the breakout from the resistance area, the first bullish target is at the 2.05 resistance level, with further bullish potential towards the psychological level of 2.22. In a more optimistic scenario, the price could continue rising to the next long-term resistance at 2.40. To anticipate a false breakout, a stop loss can be placed below the 1.70 level or below the trendline. If the price moves back below the trendline, it would indicate a failed breakout and a potential continuation of the bearish trend.

Bearish to Bullish Play for the Week on GbpAudAfter thorough analysis through each timeframe I have concluded that GA is Bullish on a Weekly Level after my Weekly Red Trendline broke for a 2nd time to the upside, with that in mind in the 1hr-4hr TF it has broke my blue trendline to the bearish side suggesting a possible retest to the Inbalance around 1.96700-1.96500, only way I would change my bearish outlook from current price is if we break thru 1.99200 to the bullish territory. If the sell plays out turning into a buy midweek closing the week out around 1.98500-1.99000 it would make a weekly doji building up for next weeks play.. BUT let’s see if we can catch this weeks play 1st lol.. may the markets be on our side !

GBPAUD Bullish Trade Idea from 2.00381-2.0082GBPAUD Bullish Trade Idea The price fell from the 2.02834 zone and hit back the 2.00381 zone, just respecting the recent support level. Now the important question is: does the price just test back and wait for the confirmation candle over this zone to reach the next level? In H4, the bear pressure will increase over time, and the volume increased with sentiments also showing that more volume on the buy side. and the major zone will be tested. Key level: if the market breaks the support, then we must see at the 1.99567 zone, but on the other side, the Pound index is strong enough. When the market breaks the 2.00820 level, put buy trade. Buying zone: 2.00381 - 2.0082 Stop loss: 1.99778 Take Profit Level: 2.0158-2.02763

GBPAUD - Employment in Australia is at good levels!The GBPAUD currency pair is above the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its upward channel. In case of failure of this channel, we can see the demand zone and buy within that zone with appropriate risk reward. Continuing to move in the channel will pave the way for this currency pair to rise to the supply zone. Within the supply zone can look for GBPAUD sell positions. 1. Renewable Energy in the UK: British ministers are preparing for the largest renewable energy subsidy auction in the country’s history to achieve the challenging goal of generating clean electricity by 2030. Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, is set to launch the “2030 Clean Electricity Action Plan” today, aiming to decarbonize the power system by the end of the decade. A recent auction secured funding for 131 clean energy projects, guaranteeing 9.6 gigawatts of energy capacity, enough to power 11 million homes. Government officials plan to hold the largest auction to date by 2025 to meet the 2030 target of at least 95% low-carbon electricity. 2. Trump’s Proposed Tariffs: According to a Reuters survey, most economists believe that Trump’s proposed tariffs would have minimal impact on the UK economy. The survey revealed that the Bank of England is likely to cut interest rates by 100 basis points by 2025, with reductions probably occurring quarterly at 25 basis points each. Additionally, all 71 economists surveyed predicted that the central bank would hold the interest rate steady at 4.75% during its December 19 meeting. 3. Challenges in AI Oversight: The UK is facing challenges in its efforts to expand global oversight of artificial intelligence. The country aims to strengthen its “Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute” (AISI) and solidify its position as a leading institution in researching AI risks. However, plans to open a new office in San Francisco have been delayed due to elections in the US and the UK, as well as hiring challenges. 4. London’s IPO Market Decline: The London Stock Exchange, once a leading and prestigious center for initial public offerings (IPOs), has now fallen to 20th place among global markets, recording none of the top 100 IPOs in 2024. Markets like Oman, Malaysia, and Luxembourg have outperformed London in attracting IPO capital. The outflow of companies from the London Stock Exchange has also risen, exacerbated by 41 consecutive months of capital outflow from UK equity funds, increasing pressure on market brokers to merge or sell. 5. Australia’s Unemployment Rate: Australia’s unemployment rate in November dropped to its lowest level in eight months, while employment continued its strong growth trend. This surprising strength led markets to reassess the likelihood of a rate cut in February, following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s unexpected dovish shift that hinted at potential monetary easing. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that the unemployment rate fell from 4.1% in October to 3.9% in November, the lowest since March. Analysts had expected unemployment to rise to 4.2%. The participation rate declined from 67.1% to 67.0%. Net employment in November increased by 35,600 compared to a revised figure of 12,200 in October, exceeding market expectations of a 25,000-job gain, driven largely by full-time employment growth.

#USDAUD 1DAYUSDAUD Daily Analysis The USDAUD pair is trading within an uptrend channel on the daily chart and is currently approaching the resistance line of the channel. This resistance area is a critical zone where selling pressure may emerge, making it a potential sell opportunity if the price shows signs of rejection. Technical Outlook: Pattern: Uptrend Channel and Resistance Forecast: Bearish (Sell Opportunity) Entry Strategy: Enter a sell position if the price confirms rejection at the resistance line with bearish price action signals. Traders should monitor for reversal patterns, such as bearish engulfing candlesticks or indicators like RSI signaling overbought conditions. Proper risk management is essential, with stop-loss orders placed above the resistance line and profit targets set near the channel's midline or lower boundary.
