GBP/AUD remains at multi-year highs just above 1.8500; next long-term target is 1.9670
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The GBP/AUD cross is telling the very unambiguous story of British Pound strength and Aussie Dollar weakness. Very short-term, the cross is pulling back off the intraday highs in what appears to be a corrective pattern.
GBP/AUD traders preparing to react to British Retail Sales in several hours
With the GBP/AUD looking very bullish on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, traders have to look for opportunities on an intraday basis to increase long exposure to the cross. Right now, a pullback to a “correction target” of 1.8498 appears to be in progress – so buyers need to ready their cash.
Traders will be eyeing the release of British Retail Sales data later in the session for more directional guidance.

Technicians say the long-term upside target for GBP/AUD appears to be all the way up at 1.9670. Obviously, there will be lots of starts and stops on the way up to that target.
