The Max High at 1.1060 already breached the pair could head higher later in the day towards 1.11.
We have been calling for a break out for sometime now. The chart still suggests there is possibility of a further rise towards 1.12, if not 1.13-15 seen on the 3-day chart at: http://www.kshitij.com/graphgallery/chfcandle.shtml
GBP-USD @ 1.8352/56... Recession unavoidable.
R: 1.8400 / 1.8460-80 / 1.8520-60
S: 1.8320 / 1.8265-50 / 1.8200
Cable has seen a sharp dip once again as the dollar resumed it's rally against the majors after a small slip seen yesterday.
For the near-term, the pair could target 1.83, however, in the medium term the pair is expected to be bearish and could target lower towards 1.80, even 1.75, if the UK economic health continues to deteriorate. A recession seems unavoidable for now as it has seen two quarters of zero growth already.
AUD-USD @ 0.8515/19... Could bounce back a little
R: 0.8550-40 / 0.8600 / 0.8660-82
S: 0.8510 / 0.8481 / 0.8450
A break of Support at 0.86 has resulted in a dip in the pair towards 0.85 during the day. In the process the Max Low for the day, at 0.8539 has been broken past.
Looking ahead there could be some Support near the 0.85 region and a bounce towards 0.8600 could be seen later in the day.
