EUR/GBP and AUD/USD higher, while USD/CAD rally falters​​​​

​Both EUR/GBP and AUD/USD have moved higher, the latter forming a possible short-term low, while the strong gains in USD/CAD have been temporarily checked.

​​​EUR/GBP moves back above 50-day SMA

EUR/GBP's rally from the lows of last August continues, and has carried it back above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA).

This now clears the way for another attempt to reach the highs of July and August around £0.865, though now this level lies beyond the 100-day SMA. If the price fails to break the 100-day SMA then the bearish view will be given further reinforcement.

Above £0.865 the price will head towards the mostly-flatlining 200-day SMA.

​AUD/USD forming short-term bottom? 

​A possible short-term low continues to form here, with AUD/USD rallying back above $0.64 once again. 

​Having dropped to a near ten-month low the bearish view remains firmly in place. Bears might actually welcome a rebound in the short-term to create a fresh lower high, which might potentially emerge near the declining 50-day SMA.  

A reversal and slump back below $0.64 would amplify the short-term negative view, and bring the $0.625 level into play, along with the lows of October 2022 around $0.62.

​USD/CAD rally stalls 

​After the impressive rally from early July, USD/CAD may finally have hit some selling pressure.  

​It is likely too soon to suggest a near-term top has formed, but some consolidation might not be surprising, with the 200-day SMA an initial target for some short-term weakness.  

​Continued price action above C$1.34 will indicate that the buyers remain in charge overall.
