GBPAUD Ascending Trend Line Support Near 50% Fib

GBPAUD has pulled back sharply from its recent highs near the 1.9361 swing high, retreating to test its rising trend line and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.9083.

The pair is currently hovering right around this confluence zone, which could determine whether the broader uptrend has enough strength to resume.

The ascending trend line, which has been connecting a series of higher lows since late May, is being tested once again after several successful bounces along the way. This trend line lining up so closely with the 50% Fib adds weight to this area as a potential floor for buyers looking to step back in.

A larger correction could still push price down to the 61.80% Fib at 1.9017, which sits just above the 100% Fib and the origin of the impulsive rally at 1.8804. This zone could be the line in the sand for a bullish pullback, as a break below it would put the longer-term uptrend in jeopardy.

If the trend line and Fibs hold as support, GBPAUD could resume its climb toward the 38.20% Fib at 1.9148 or make a fresh run at the 1.9361 swing high.

The 100 SMA is above the 200 SMA, which still points to the path of least resistance being to the upside, although the gap between the two has started to narrow as price consolidates.

Stochastic has dipped into the oversold region, reflecting exhaustion among sellers after the recent slide, and could be gearing up for a turn higher if buyers step in around current levels. Some bullish divergence may also be forming if price manages to hold above the trend line while the oscillator carves out higher lows.

RSI, on the other hand, is also approaching oversold territory, leaving some room to slide before reaching stretched levels. Still, a turn higher here alongside a bounce off the trend line and 50% Fib could be enough to reignite bullish momentum and set the stage for another leg up in the broader uptrend.
