be aware there is a bearish DV on daily chart and if it can push price enough down a bearish H&S will triger and huge fall would be expected.
other hand break .9900 bring .9955 easily and then 1.0070. price consolidation
lead to wait and watch for break up or down put SL for your position

Nope I was never. I was thinkin now might be a downward correction of the gains of the past two days. I m just borrowing the idea or a 38 - 50% retract for which ever direction the trend moves
Hi there, fibs are a very complicated tool to use, there are interactions between up trend plots and down trend ones, it takes a bit of time to understand how they might work, i say "might" because you'll never be sure.
Your guess for a short from here could have merit, neat little TL will be broken later on, could offer a good entry south, maybe even a re test, however staying open minded is the most difficult thing to do, i know i find it difficult at times, even after using fibs for the last 5-6 years.
Personaly i do remain mainly on the long side, but keeping an eye out on the DOW it is approaching resistance the currencies (and everything else) will follow only if the Equities actualy crash, which seems unlikely right now...
All of the above just MHO.

AUD/USD ... What will decide the new trend?

I am pretty new to this, if it stays above parity for a 2cd time, are chances more likely that it will stay up ... or is it 'false' confidence based off u.s. dollar & not Aussie economy?

Hi mikej2010,
The Aussie dollar isn’t up because of how good it is, but because of how weak the US dollar is.
The other day when there was a scare about Ireland, the AU dollar dropped because traders began buying the US dollar.
So even though the US dollar is weak, people buy it when there are financial problems anywhere in the world…don’t ask me why.

money from investments is withdrawn from the markets and are moved to cash risk aversion or "cashing out" in a senario like apple computers.. its relative to the cash value.. so really your trading aapl/usd.. so when you think apples revenues will fall you sellout apple.. or buy usd/aapl.. creates pumping of the dollar.

well yes ... qe2 was designed to weaken the usd .. and raise inflation.. stupid but nonetheless that was the idea.. right now the markets are trying to decide if the qe2 was price in by traders efficiently or not.. plus the goverment will slowly flood the market with cash overtime it isnt an instant thing.. same with bond buying they will buy here and there overtime until the limit is hit...

They have created a situation in the US just like Japan for the last 15 years... zero interest rates. This means they are boxed in, the US economy won't recover for at least 10 years, more likely a lot longer due committments to retiring baby boomers.

The US is a big chance of defaulting.

The US$ is the carry trade currency now. Borrow US$ at low rates to invest in AUD$ at 5 to 6%for instance.

i personally have priced usa for debt restructuring within the next 5 years or so most believe 10 years is more realistic tho.. the consensus is it will happen among managers.. just when is the question at this point.

Indeed the US is the main funding currency now. But remember, carry trades blow up every so often.
