I'd find the RBA keeping rates on hold more depressing than funny because that would leave only US Fiscal cliff to give us some action in the next month or two unless Europe lights up again given no RBA meet in Jan.

Given that the longer AUD is high the more damage to manufacturing, tourism etc I suspect the harder it will fall in the future. Big question is when? (sorry to disappoint but I don't have the answer)
Personally I love the rba rate decisions whether if its a cut or hold. If its a hold with the high % right now expecting a rate cut we'll get some action. If its a cut we'll get some action. Unlike other central banks the RBA releases the data right on the dot on the their website so we can scrape it right away and get a fill nearly instantly.

As for the tourism and manufacturing etc. The fx impact is overrated imo since tourism was even better when the dollar was @ 1.10 (b/c the global economy was in better shape). Manufacturing wasn't all that big in Australia to begin with. Mining is settled through long term contracts which has been sideways/slightly lower. Retailers benefit from higher aud and so do consumers like me who like to spend on Christmas.

Your chart please.
it is very bearish on the weekly and monthly chart.
some of the experts of the big funds can see it.
actual bearish technicals meet RBA need to print, to satisfy external demand for their currency.
but you can't have both things; print and bull...
the AUD have been kept at this level only by retailer which strongly believe [with good reason] in AUD potential.

sorry, i can't give numbers, forecasts or charts.
just recommendations' don't sleep too much if you are long and use low leverage and tight SL, IF YOU'RE LONG.

1.0465 at my last intervention.
1.0421 now, after the euro&bros went up...

Edit; forgot to say; AUD is evil ! It can reverse priority print/bull , bull/print, so it can go up again... Only the RBA knows what will be first; print or bull.

I think we can pretty much sum up that this impulse candle will be filled now in a matter of days if not today. China coming out could halt it for today but come Sunday. Monday we should see a fill

Thoughts? disagree?

I agree. The rising trend line and horizontal at 1.0394 make for a good short term target.
Trade YOUR plan.

market narrow, not a good time to take risk.

i am expecting current situation to continue, ie narrow ranges and indexes to continue creep up, pissing off everyone that is not long indexes.

also expecting not much reaction after slash of rate for 25 pips in aud. except markets up. Explanation - already priced in aud.

also, overvaluation of aud is worn out story. Retailers benefit from that, and not opposite as everything is made in china as some other poster mentioned. AU manuafacturing - never existed in a meaningful way. Reason - because AU has adapted other economy to dollar driven by resources cycle. Impossible to have sustainablre profitable export industry with rates fluctuating every 30 years 5:1 or so...

Note that around 1900 daily salary in AU was more than eu or us average monthly. So, sure this can repeat.

Also, tourism - there was little tourists from eu and US when aud was low, so who cares. Currently mainly from asia. Their currenciers keep up pretty well with aud.

anyway, looks like I am done for 2012 . time for HOLIDAYS

I will look here and there just in case i am wrong....

There's also Chinese Manufacturing PMI to be released around Saturday lunchtime (12.pm SYD)
Expectation is 50.8 . A result below 50 or above 51.5 will have the AUD crosses re-opening well away from their weekly closing levels.
