Nope to what? It went right up and straight down. I shorted at 0.7780 for a scalp. Then, it went right back up, but it fits your plan and that's awesome! I got into the bullish trend finally. woot
Nope just to the fact that even such bad data could not change the up-trend.
Sounds like you made some good green pips. Congrats mate!

Yes! Probably one of the most difficult currency pair to trade. The correlation between AUD and rest is quite complicated in addition to the government’s contradictory messages to the market. This creates a lot of confusion.

But again we see similar manipulative tendencies with EUR, Yen an the US dollar. Good luck man.

Yeah. This pair is heavily manipulated by the market makers. Best way for me to trade is on the definitive trend with a risky wide stop and tiny holdings.

The pound is getting hammered which is pushing the dollar up. In turn it's hammering AUDUSD. Even right now, the dollar should be reversing as per normal daily range (manipulation), but it hasn't done so. It probably will in a couple hours, but because it hasn't yet, dxy is on a bullish trend. Currently, it is stickied at the 200 daily moving average via the 4 hour chart a the very top of a newly established trend. If it closes above the 200sma and above that trend line, dxy won't stop. How much DXY impacts AUDUSD is something I am not familiar, so this is just speculation.

Newbs: This is not a trade setup, but a review of trend bias with speculation (guessing). Create your own plan and stick with it.

It looks like my setup may have failed. Anyway there is no loss as of yet and I will give it more time, as all this might be a bear trap. Let’s see

Thanks for getting back. I'm relieved to hear you didn't lose out. Good trader! That pattern I follow that denotes a possible trend change is often followed by a bull trap before further descent on its downside. It's related to the Wyckoff market cycle for which I am not well versed. It's just a pattern that I cannot help notice when I come across.

I'm not convinced of a trend change for this pair. DXY still needs to retrace, too. Trump will probably bark again. ha

The trend upward after bad data is certainly market manipulation, does anyone even read the COT reports? It's also consistently having meek bull momentum while having bulldozing bear momentum. Pretty much every single full-time trader has told me not to trade the news for a reason, and it's the advice that literally turned me around into making profits after two account blow ups.

But I digress. It also does help to know that someone has to only work 1 hour a week in Australia to be considered employed, and a quarter of our work force are "casual" employees. Meaning they are not entitled to any hours of work. Be very careful when seeing supposedly good employment data, it's not always the case since our services/tourism industry is growing fast and is notorious for hiring the bulk of casual staff. Usually they are younger because they are ALOT cheaper and you can just not give them any shifts once they turn a certain. Hire a 15 year old and they cost a measly $9 base rate. Get a 21+ year old and they can cost up to $21 an hour. I would assume this data is actually even worse than it looks. Tread carefully AUD bulls.

The market is perfectly performing within a bullish channel. A clear close above the upper bound will clear the path for a significant rally.

Unlikely, it will go down to test 0.75XXX before any reversal.

AUD heavily tanked, Royal banking commission found a Commonwealth Bank financial planner collecting fees for no service from a passed away client from his superannuation for 10 years. Possibly now leading to bank reform and discussion.

i do agree, i think 0.7600 is a strong fundamental support for aussie before it will bounce up high.
we just need to wait for a couple day

i hope iam right.

Down to 0.7600 and I still see bullish signals and patterns all over. DXY still skyrocket. Crazy market.

The news about a possible increase in US inflation is causing the dollar to appreciate in other currencies. Would a break be possible because of it?

Does anyone remember ArslanHyder? He was so hilarious convinced of an Aussie strength, he even insulted everyone trying to bring in the possibility that he might be on the wrong side ..

.. anyway, thank you Arslan for all the pips meanwhile!
