Key indicators, including the LEI and both Endogenous and Exogenous factors, have been steadily declining on a weekly basis. This indicates a weakening outlook for the GBP against the AUD, supporting a bearish perspective on the pair.
Seasonality:
Historically, GBPAUD tends to exhibit a bullish bias during the first week of December, suggesting a potential seasonal opportunity for taking long positions.

Conclusion:
