AUD/USD
Let’s look at the AUD/USD chart. It has bounced from the support line at 0.7080. Now it’s approaching the resistance at 0.7145. If it crosses it, it may surge to the high of July 29 at 0.7185. On the flip side, if it falls below the support at 0.7080, it will open doors towards the next support at 0.7020.
S&P 500
The S&P 500 has just crossed the resistance at 3 270. Now it’s getting closer to the high of January 23 at 3 325. If it breaks through this level, it may climb up to the all-time high at 3 390. However, the move below the support at 3 270 will drive the price to the low of July 28 at 3 210.
Gold
Gold is stuck in a range between $1 965 and $1 980. If it escapes above this range, it may jump to the widely expected level at $2 000. Otherwise, the move below will push gold to the low of July 30 at $1 950.
GBP/USD
Finally, let’s get a closer look at GBP/USD. The pair reversed after falling down for two days straight. It had a pullback from the key psychological mark at 1.3000.
