Howdy aussie traders.

I just got out of my short @ .8890 at BE. Wanted to reduce some risk going into the thin week. A little move higher is possible from here. Thin markets are scary

DT I don't use volume analysis at all. I know that some orders are just bait. It's an old trick that is used to trap retail traders. Some traders do quite well using volume analysis but it's not as simple as just spotting pending orders and trading off them.

there is a dude here at FF that is always carrying on about volume analysis. He is over at the cable thread quite a bit. Personally, I don't bother with any of his posts about volume analysis. His name is malcomb14 I think.

Still short favors, I think there is a nice opportunity on NZDUSD ,the triangle pattern should breakout into the downside sooner or later
AUDUSD is bearish as far as R at .9200 holds
NZDUSD is bearish as far as R at .7300 holds

Re entered into third short @.8885, stop for this one only at .8925. Previous resistance around .8915 is being shown strong respect. God I hate Mondays.

Hey shahab,
I know we're both big ole bears on the aussie and it's looking good. This week scares me. Thin markets can be just punishing . I do like the way PA is respecting the .8915 area. If this previous support turns into a wall of resistance we could be looking at sharp run where all the bottom pickers will be punished . It's good to be on the winning side of trades coz losing sucks.

Best of luck to us both.

Kim, I am not calling anyone on this thread anything negative. I was speaking in general terms. The commitment of traders report has most large speculators long this pair.

I don't think anyone on this thread is a top or bottom picker, I for one just try and trade what I see, which was a possible move up, although I was counting on more than 30 pips before the down move. But I took it and am out. I hate Mondays too, always seem to go contrary to the night before.

Anyway, happy pipping people.

See you tomorrow.


Kim

AUD/USD: Eases below Cloud-Base As USD Attains A Bid Tone Sydney, December 21: Cross currency action dominated trading in very early Asia, but that has given way to broad USD strength as the market thickens up. The AUD/USD traded up to 0.8939 earlier on when stops were triggered above 0.8920, but the price reversed and briefly below the base of the daily ichimoku cloud - which comes in at 0.8893 today - to a low of 0.8885. The next level of support is found at the 100-day MA at 0.8860 and there is talk of very good buying between 0.8810/40.

Preference: Long positions above 0.884 with targets @ 0.891 & 0.8965 in extension.

Alternative scenario: Below 0.884 look for further downside with 0.881 & 0.8775 as targets.

Comment: the RSI is mixed and calls for caution.

Key levels
0.9025
0.8965
0.891
0.89 last
0.884
0.881
0.8775

what i am looking at....If the dollar index can hold and bounce off 78.00-04 area then things look good for bears when europe comes on board, if not and it goes through then we should probably retrace back to the 9000ish area before selling down.

USDX, I believe this will shape what the early part of this week will look like. if 77.98 fails then dx will head down and aud and euro will be up into resistance, and a sell down later this week.
this could all be null and void if the market doesn't conform to ususal patterns due to thin volumes. This is my first december trading currencies so not sure if the usual patterns will apply.
