GBP / AUD - Wait for the kangaroo bounce - SHORT
The pound is bouncing back at the moment, but remember we're in a downtrend, that means we must be patient to find a level of weakness to sell it back down, and the Aussie has bounced back too, so at some point one of them will lose and it will be the one that cannot sustain long term growth without indecision and with Brexit looming, that can only be the Sterling.
I expect the pound to rebound to either of these resistance levels, look for a "two try" rejection, wait for a price action signal and a move similar to this, try one, try twice and then don't make the move higher on the third try, price action rejection, sell.... I will update this pair as we go.
I've done a longer-term analysis to support this, see link below, this pair have made me over 1000 pips of profits this year, you can too with patience and knowledge and not just waiting for sell signals from others.

Short term bullish on this pair, there will be a small pullback above the close @1.753 buy up to the Pink zone with a stop below 1.75.
The pink zone is the first bear trap on our chart above, so keep your stops tight to retain your profits.

Things are hotting up as various pairs approach retracements / major confluence levels.
Comment:
Profit taking has begun and Sterling is taking a hit, we're in a short term Bull, but long term bearish, so be aware of the bull bounce
Comment:
Price is narrowing for a breakout

If you're making lots of trades per day and risking more than a few % of your trading account on each trade, and trading lots of the same pairs all the time, your not trading, your gambling and badly. That maximum I ever trade is 5% of my entire trading account and that's to the top of my stop loss and that's only if the set-up is a 5 star, I may do that once a week if I'm lucky, it's normally closer to 1-3%
Don't trade to just be in the market in the hope of catching a move down or up, against this is gambling and not trading. Set your position size based on where the stops are relative to the previous structure.
If you're a total beginner trading with real money just following other traders, firstly you are crazy, secondly, I wouldn't trade more than 0.25% in that instance, if I was happy just following others, always do your own analysis and within your own trading plan / account management.

I have an active trade @1.7656 on 3rd August. Looking for a further move down to 1.71. Look at the link below for my much longer-term view and how I've made money out of this pair.

The downside is still strong on this pair, looking for 1.74 then 1.72 strong rejection of the moving average at 1.78
Comment:
First target achieved @1.74 lots of downside on sterling right now and the Aussie has some strength, expecting further downside to 1.73 - 1.72, lets see if we get a strong bounce
Trade closed: target reached:
Time to target: 4 days
Profit: 240 pips
3% risk - 1:2.75 return (8.25%)

It's incredibly important you stay patient for an entry, don't enter to just be in the market and if you've got a trade on a long-term, swing trade, be prepared to see larger sideways movements and therefore don't sit and watch them, don't enter with anything less than a 15m timeframe and preferable a 1h.
The Aussie is very strong overnight, as is the Kiwi, forcing this pear to look bearish, but the Pound is not that weak, not like the Yen or US$.
