FxWirePro: Pound strengthens ahead of BoE, GBP/AUD breaks 200-DMA at 1.6685

• Sterling seems to be gaining strength ahead of the Bank of England (BoE) ‘Super Thursday’.
   
• The BOE policy decision to be announced accompanied by the quarterly inflation report and meeting minutes.
   
• Analysts caution that investors should brace for hawkishness from the central bank. 
   
• Technical indicators have turned bullish. RSI and Stochs are biased higher. MACD is now showing a bullish crossover on signal line.
   
• We see scope for further upside on decisive break above 200-DMA at 1.6685. Test of trendline at 0.69 then likely.
   
• On the flipside, 20-DMA is strong support at 1.6580 level. We see weakness only on break below.

Support levels - 1.6580 (20-DMA), 1.6554 (5-DMA), 1.65

Resistance levels - 1.67, 1.6776 (July 17 high), 1.6825 (50-DMA), 1.69 (major trendline)

Call update: Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-GBP-AUD-pares-losses-below-5-DMA-intraday-bias-higher-830532) has hit all targets.

Recommendation: We recommend booking full profits. We prefer to remain on sidelines into BoE. Watch out for decisive break above 200-DMA to go long.
