GBPUSD

Cable remains under pressure and resumes steep downleg which commenced from 1.6642, 01 Sep lower top and was accelerated by weekly gap-lower opening. The price approaches its target and psychological support at 1.6000, which also marks a mid-point of one-year 1.4812/1.7189 rally. Break lower to target 1.5967, Fibonacci 100% expansion of the third wave from 1.6642 and 1.5900, round figure support, in extension. Oversold near-term condition may show hesitation ahead of 1.6000 target, with bounces to face initial resistances at 1.6185 and 1.6230 and 1.6280 zone last Friday’ lows, expected to cap. Overall bearish structure sees the downside favored, despite oversold daily studies, as sentiment is still negative and no reversal signals being generated yet.

AUDUSD

Near-term structure turned bearish as yesterday’s long red candle reversal after 0.94 upside rejection, signal further weakness. Bears took out 0.9260, 03 Sep higher low and the last support on the way to 0.9237, near-term base. This level offers strong support and potential break lower would turn overall picture firmly bearish and signal resumption of larger descend off 0.9503, 01 July peak. Negatively aligned daily studies support the notion, however, consolidative action ahead of this support is expected, as near-term studies are oversold. Psychological 0.93 barrier, also Fibonacci 38.2% of 0.9400/0.9248 downleg, offers initial barrier, with extended rallies to be capped by 0.9330, to maintain negative structure.
