aus economy is still very risk averse. it will capitulate during crisis times and strengthen or stay strong when risk is strong

it is still over 1.03, and its daily range continues to decline, now only a measly 40-45 pips! its still possible to make in this pair, but dont expect over 15-25 pips per day profit

best to have another pair with it. like eur/usd.

I would only short this pair if it fails to take out 1.03657 or if it breaks support at 1.02860. So for now I'm still going to sit out until a better direction is evident whilst it's stuck in this range.

Forget the crystal ball gazing and conjecture.

Watch the charts, look at the trendlines and check the price action.

Trade according to what you see and not what everybody is thinking will or will not happen.

First of all..thanks for the post with no noise...

Second...Aud Usd is pretty flat on the monthly charts..

However....the short term volatility has been profitable...Hope you've been trading it.

The latest statements from RBNZ and FOMC has driven the price down.. I've been playing it to the downside.

RBA seems to be indicating a dovish lowering of rates..

US dollar strength is getting very high...especially with Elections coming up in Italy at the end of the month.

For current risk aversion...one must watch what is happening in the Euro Zone.

I've set my forex factory parameters to only accept emails from buddies...because I don't want to get emails from the blog that don't respond directly to what I'm writing about..so if you want to be a buddy...I'm good with it.

Strong bounce off of support at 1.02324. Let's see if it holds for now. If broken, could possibly go lower.

I think we shall see some consolidation today and then perhaps a move towards 1.0100.

Short taken, and fingers crossed for it may be descending prior to forming a further upward movement to complete a Correction structure.

Hello again,

back in Kiwiland, enjoyed the time in Aussie. Great Barrier Reef a must.

anyway, a little birdy told me about a major pivot level at 1.017, I need to introduce those into my analysis,

So I would have a tp set in 3 stages (pendings and tp's staggered) at above 1.02, then targeting 1.019-1.017 and 1.017-1.010

Currently my main tools are fibs, channels, trendlines and S&R from reversals

I find Support and Resistance levels work better than most tools.
Even the worst trade can close with profit. Just give it time.

I closed my positions last night during the RBA speech and when things were moving up rather quickly.

I'm awaiting some confirmation now before re-entering this pair.

Fair enough.

Market sitting above 1.03 at close, no doubt will open above 1.03,

I will trade a short below 1.03 expect initial market reaction to attack 1.025 and lead down to 1.022 with a test at 1.02

Yes, we are ranging, basically can draw a rectangle and youll see it very quickly.
