Is there more room up for the GBP versus AUD? After already a breakout of a +2 year base to attain it’s target, a new +1 year continuation rectangle (consolidation) is breaking out. This pattern is also the launching pad of a bigger base. This is A+ material.

Check the monthly candle 10 year chart and it’s arrows for the implied measured move for both the current breakout and the further target of that BIG + 5 year base.

We can see the breakout on the weekly candle 5 year chart.

The daily action on the 1 year chart is also inline with the bigger time frame charts.

I had alerts for this which got triggered recently. I’m now going to see if the risk to reward is worth the setup for the first closest target:

Pair                 Entry       Stop-loss  Profit-taker   Ri:Re

gbp/aud         1.9575         1.9128        2.1000        3.19

The risk versus reward of 1:3.19 is good. The risk versus reward for the BIG move will have a much better ratio. I’m going to strongly considering entering after this weeks close.
