​​​AUD/USD rallies to 7-month high

​On Wednesday, AUD/USD briefly overcame the major $0.6694 to $0.6714 resistance area and rose to a 7-month high at $0.6733. This remains in sight and a rise above which would likely engage the $0.6781 late December low.

​​Immediate support can be found at $0.6704 to $0.6698.

​EUR/GBP advance pauses

EUR/GBP has been rejected by the key £0.8484 to £0.8503 resistance zone, a rise above which would target the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at £0.8517, though.

​Potential slips may found support along the support line at £0.8446 ahead of the recent lows at £0.8431-30.
