The day's price movement and indecision was frustrating, but not unexpected. I am not prepared to write the bears off just yet and still consider 86 to be the key level which may take several attempts to breach. AUD 4hr testing trendline support, 8hr testing trendline support and Weekly chart has provided the Doji close. My bias remains short with first target 85.55.

hi all!

the downward stop hunt we saw on Friday on USDJPY is a typical month end move, and makes me think one more the USD is starting what may be a very strong bounce from the current levels.

I am holding my shorts with stops on AUDUSD at 0,8751 and looking for open a long on USDJPY around 89 and down to the important support at 0,8870

short term targets for AUDUSD and EURUSD are still valid; 0,84-85 and 1,44-45
we should see them in the next two weeks

pound suffered in the last two weeks and could start recovering from 1.57 - 5750, reached that level EURGBP could eventually start to fall

next week we could see wild up and down moves typical of the months ends/beginning, I still expect the tone to be negative with more profit taking on the markets and on commodities.
The break of the important support at 1044 on the S&p could confirm such a scenario

good trade to you all!

and of course remember to try to avoid half-way trades, let pairs and crosses go up before you sell and down before your buy!
cover your potential gains with stop or adequate hedging strategies

a stop or a hedge order is often a potential future gain

China’s Chump Change
By Jeff Clark

You likely read that the IMF announced they will proceed with the sale of 403.3 tonnes of gold. While I’m tempted to comment on how little this will actually help the worldwide financial mess – the $14.2 billion it will raise (at $1,000 gold) represents 0.07% of the $19 trillion in total global bailouts to date – this is really a comment about China.

The logic is straightforward: China needs to diversify its massive $2 trillion in reserves (which is actually greater than $2 trillion now, and it keeps rising). A high percentage of these reserves are comprised of U.S. dollars. Chinese leaders have made it clear they are entirely uncomfortable with how the U.S. government is devaluing those dollars. Chinese officials rightfully worry their investment is being eroded – and that it could ultimately crash and burn.

The facts are clear: China is currently the world’s biggest gold producer. They are the world’s biggest buyer of gold. It is a near certainty they will pass India as the biggest buyer of gold jewelry this year.

The math is simple: If China were to buy the entire 403.3-tonne stash, $14.2 billion represents 0.71% of their total reserves. It is chump change.

The outcome is certain: China only has 1,054 tonnes of gold reserves. Adding the 403.3 tonnes would equal $51.4 billion in total gold reserves, still only 2.57% of their total reserves. It’s the equivalent of what you would spend on a nice night out on the town.

The implications are enormous: Chinese officials have already hinted they’ll buy some or all of the IMF’s gold. Either way, China will someday be rich with gold (and other commodities). Their future is becoming more secure with every ounce they buy.

The message is clear: Don’t be a chump. Use any weakness in gold to build your own wall against what’s coming next.

Here is what I think of,
the pattern in AUDUSD weekly chart resembels of the bearish Bat, it means the price should reverse at 2.618 projection of BC , which is .8931 ,interestingly enough , this is the same level of 76.4% fib of XA + 1.618 projection of .6238 to .8261 + the former long term support level of March 08,
looking at the current price level, it'll go up till .893 may be shy of .90 and the price reversal might happen in mid Oct if not sooner,

Hi thadakman,
here is the link to harmonic pattern, I have an e book about it too, if are interested I can email it to you.

in FX360 website, the GFT analysts make all their trade calls based on harmonic pattern, like Butterfly ,Gartley,ABCD and three drive, and there is a good section explain the patterns , here it is

Hi My30marahaba,
I dont have LFXJPY chart at my MT4 , I'm not sure about the weightened avarage of the currencies agianst JPY in this index ,
would mind telling me the percentage of USD,EUR,GBP and others in the index?

what's the level of B in your chart?
1- if AB is .382/0.618 of XA you go for a bearish Crab then C would be .382/.886 of AB and , if you go for a Crab the D would end up heigher than X!
2- if AB is .618 of XA you go for a bearish Gartley then C agian be would .382/.886 of AB , and you have an ABCD so the CD would equal AB , and lower than X for sure
3-if AB is .382/0.5 of XA , go for a bearish Bat, then C agian would be .382/.886 of AB

so whatever your chart is, it seems a drop to .382/.886 level of AB is on the card then reversal from there!

By the way, you dont need a harmonic pattern to trade that, you can just use simple Fibonacci projection/extension level, as you did on your chart
