Interesting... what exactly is the "FDate report"?
List of weekly turn dates for a list of markets. 5 of them are currencies, so I use those for futures and forex trading.

BTW, there is resistance a few ticks above .8843 as well. About 5 pips, so I'll have to give this a little more room than usual. But 10 above that and this high is going to go real high. So I have to keep my eye on this. No matter what though, the reversal is due 10/6.

Here are the exact resistance levels to watch for.

Using the ADZ9 December AD$ futures contract prices, the resistance levels are .8793 (current high as I type this) and then .8798. Beyond that, it's really up there and not likely to be hit today. So I'd say that .8793 (current) or .8798 are looking pretty good for today.

Where do you find the "FDate report" if you don't mind me asking?

Currently with Europe asleep and NY "deep asleep", what do you guys think this pair will do in short term?

A lot of people said, including myself, that interest rate rise today was not a chance. Well it happened.

A lot of people said 90c before next year is not a chance, well we're within 160 pips of that mark.

Can it happen today, tomorrow or next week?

so RBA increased rates in Australia to 3.25%

this reinforces my idea that a correction is due for this pair

I doubt it will make new highs before retracing, but in case it will, it could be a false break and then slide

I am still short from 0,8760 and not worried, will add only in case it will break 0,8860 highs, limit to 0.8910

0,85 - 86 is still what I expect this week

exactly, I am not sure but low volume could also allow to form a new high by a few pips

definitely a short chance in that case

Yep. The longs gotta shot in the arm. BUT...it's brief indeed.

Resistance strong at .8843 area. Also, Oct 6th is big reversal day for AUD/USD.

Shorts, time to embrace the reversal NOW!!
wow its really a strong resistance i think we have a psychologist on board

My first short position this week, I went short in NZDUSD at .7348, the S now R from Jan,08. and an ending digonal at 30min charts, a drop at least to .7250 is on the card, Kiwi chart seems more mature to me

I believe it will retrace from a psychological .89 level. It would definitely want to to test it esp in London and NY session before retracing back to .87xx level.

a highly reliable source from one of the 4 top banks here in Australia told me right after the increase that their bank had "already priced in" the rate hike so in that case, expect the reversal.

BUT, not before making the new highs - which this pair already has.

Limit sell at .8895
