• EUR/AUD Turning Over a New Leaf?
  Written by Matthew Weller
  Last updated 8/21/2012 2:24:29 PM ET
  From a technical perspective, the EUR/AUD may provide the clearest opportunity to play continued euro strength. After forming one of the cleanest trends of the summer, the pair just broke to new 1-month highs above 1.1850. This confirms that a near-term bottom has formed throughout August, and opens the door for a quick squeeze toward previous-support-turned-resistance at 1.1950 or the early July highs at 1.2100.

• GBP/AUD Launching Pad at 1.50
  Written by Matthew Weller

  One such pair is the GBP/AUD, which after cascading lower throughout June and July, finally appears ready to bounce. After nearly 1,500 pips over two months, the pair finally began to rally two weeks ago. Drawing a Fibonacci retracement from the high near 1.62 (point A) down to the recent low around 1.47 (point B) shows that the pair could easily extend its rally another 250 pips before hitting the initial fib retracement at 1.5272.
