GBPUSD
Cable bounced from fresh low at 1.4563, posted on 13 Apr and tested psychological 1.48 barrier, on two-day recovery rally. Repeated positive close and fresh gains that cracked pivotal 1.4771/89 barriers, daily Tenkan-sen and daily 10SMA, give initial signals of reversal, as near-term studies are gaining bullish tone. Fresh strength and close above 1.4815, Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.4970/1.4563 downleg / daily 20SMA, is required to confirm and resume recovery. Otherwise, expect downside risk to remain in play, in case the price continues to hold below daily 20SMA.

AUDUSD
The pair remains in near-term consolidative phase above 0.7551, where near-term base has been built. Yesterday’s rally to 0.7646, 50% retracement of 0.7736/0.7551 downleg, was so far short lived, keeping near-term technicals weak, as daily 10SMA caps near-term price action. On the larger picture, bearish tone prevails, as the pair trades in consolidative phase, above key 0.7551/31 lows. Only close above daily 20SMA, currently at 0.7687, would signal stronger recovery that requires break and close above 0.7736, current recovery high, to neutralize downside risk.
