GBPAUD
GBPAUD has ended the day prior with a huge impulsive candle on the daily from the base of the channel, breaking above the previous 4-Hour high at 1.20353. Continuing along this road should take prices into the resistance zone between 1.21247 and 1.22417, from where the bearish trend can be expected to continue.
