AUDUSD Technical Analysis:

AUDUSD, after forming a double top in July, has seen a drastic price drop. The price went down by 9.03%. Price was then seen making lower highs and lows, slowly moving in a downtrend. On the way, the price broke the support near $0.64958.

The price then was trading below the 50EMA, showing a short-term downtrend when it was respecting the bearish channel. We could see the Bullish RSI Divergence that indicated the bullish movement was due. After the formation of the RSI Divergence, the price broke the bearish channel and started moving up. On the way up, it also crossed the EMA.

Currently, the price is at a major resistance. Crossing and staying above the resistance can give a good chance of buying opportunities to the traders. But it may also be a fake.

GBPUSD Technical Analysis:

GBPUSD was in a downtrend, with the price trading inside the bearish channel. The price recently formed its bottom at $1.20371 and went into a consolidation state. The price was stuck between $1.20691 and $1.22988.

The price most recently broke out of the range and the 50EMA, moving up. A confluence could be seen where buyers had a good trading opportunity. A lower time frame can give a better understanding of the entry. The next major resistance would be near $1.25434. However, the trend is bearish and may go further if the buyers cannot maintain the momentum.
