Can anyone tell me what made the Aussie to crash during 5-8 Nov. 2010? Because in that period of time, on 5th Nov., actually, the daily high was 1.0183, and now it looks like if that high is being tested again.

Probably it will reach 1.02XX by 31, but in January it is possible that the Aussie will crash again.

What are the chances that Aussie will go down soon?

I'm waiting for this to happen since Monday... but no luck! It keeps going up because it brings confidence to investors (like gold).

1.0185

Fuc*ing incredible...

Ill be waiting on the sidelines before I start trading anymore currencies.. everything is being bought up on low volume.. everything looks like its peaking.. I expect well see some risk adversion or time building more long OF.. if your trying to keep risk down nows the time to not trade. and I rarely ever take this stance..

A/U hit my profit limit @ 1.0040 last night, so both trades from 9835 and 9960 are now closed. It would be great if there was a good pull back for a few days so I could re-enter after the new year. We will see.

A word of caution. This pair can go a lot higher. Short postioning is still very extreme by retail traders. Shorts and open intrest are both increasing over the last few days. That is NOT GOOD for short positions. Personally, I would not touch a short at ANY PRICE right now.... scalp or otherwise. If you must be short, know your stop loss...
As I said last week, this can go a lot higher. Short postioning is still extreme. Yes, we may retrace now....or maybe in another 500 pips north. There is no way to know. I know there are a lot of people staring at the chart and thinking "man, we have to come down some from here". We do not have to come down. Fortunes have been made over the last few months being long A/U, and fortunes have been lost being short. We are at the top of the mini daily channel (inside the Big Channel), so we MAY see a retace of 90-140 pips. If we brake through the top of the mini channel near 1.0225, then the sky is the limit. Somewhere between 1.0650 and 1.0750 would be a good target.
To sum up:

1) Do not be short this pair

2) If you must be short, pick your entries carefully, and have very tight stops.

Regards,

I'm seeing this as a false break. With Daily and 4hr stochastics overbought, along with the time of year, I'm putting in a short after the 4hr candle closes below 1.01810.

I just don't think there are enough big investors right now to push this thing higher....

Thoughts?

Weekly MACD is diverging, see below. May see some profit taking before new years.

I'll post another small chart with possible entry for short.

See below. Any spike above the high should really only be a fake out to take out shorts. Be careful.
