AUD/USD: 4-hour
Heads up, forex fanatics! We’ve got a potential retracement play in the works on AUD/USD! Right now, the pair is finding support at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, which just so happens to line up almost perfectly with a former resistance level and the 1.0200 major psychological handle. If you think AUD/USD is destined for new heights, you may want to consider going long, as Stochastic is already signaling oversold conditions. However, if you’re a member of the bear camp and think AUD/USD will continue falling, wait for the pair to break below 1.0200 before you load up on shorts!
GBP/USD: 1-hour
Welcome to GBP/USD a.k.a. bear town! This pair recently broke through the 1.5500 major support level, forming a solid downtrend in the process. If you’ve been looking for a chance to jump on the sellers’ bandwagon, you may get a chance to do so if price revisits the 1.5500 handle. But be careful! Stochastic just turned away from oversold territory, which means that selling pressure may die down soon.
GBP/JPY: 4-hour
Last but not least is this finger-lickin’ good setup on GBP/JPY! Will it bounce or break at 123.00? A strong bounce off this level could lead to a rally to 125.00, near the pair’s recent highs. On the other hand, if this support zone breaks down, GBP/JPY may just continue falling all the way to around 122.00… or even back down to 119.00!
