You guys creep me out... It falls a few pips and you shout sell it to hell? ... what gives? - Calm down.
Well, i've been trying to sell it since Sunday. It's time for a retrace already. Bear candles completely crush bull candles over, and over again, and yet this thing still creeps up.

It will fall one day... lol

Direction, still unknown. We are onec again, back to the 1.013-1.014 zone.

The general behavior, however, is to completely ignore fundamentals and just keep climbing up up and away.

The day that TL breaks?
I've drawn that one since last month before AU breaks 1.0000, and somehow I haven't taken out this chart from my list. Just found it again.

it was supposed to get harmed more than any other currency from the chinese rate hike. it is the one with the biggest bounce from its recent low after the hike. some people's job out there is: brain washing. i am glad i am out of this pair for the time being. i had some loss lately and i am sure it wasn't totally my fault...

Yup. I knew better than to go short on this POS. Did it anyways. Oh well, all part of the game.

Not even a rate hike from China stop the aussie's bulls. Is just like it's doing exactly the opposite that it should do. GBPUSD is dropping while the EURUSD is bouncing, gold also jumped a little. I'll have to redo all my strategy and correlations views.

I used to love this pair, but lately it's been a PITA.

Maybe it's time to retest 1.0100 again.

I have added to my shorts @ 1.0170. This is very rare for me. I am hoping for a push down to the 1.0120's so I can cut these shorts loose and move on to another pair. I have placed my stops @ 1.0275. Almost everything that could happen , within reason, to bring this pair down has now happend and it still shows no sign of retreating. I have absoultely no doubt that we will get a downside run at some point.... but at what cost? Intrest costs are killing me.... and I am losing precious days/weeks tied up in a trade is that is costing me money. I hope I can get one more little push down, cut my losses, and move on. Good trades to all....

Regards,

The worst part about all of this, is that we are still not getting any direction. I have been ready to cut losses, except we can't get out of the range. I will only exit when there is a logical reason too, but the top and bottom keeps holdings. zZZZzzzZZZZ

i think it will but a little later. however i am not sure if it goes further below 1.0100. it's more likely that after retesting 1.0100 it will bounce again.

That's why I don't trade with stops.

This baby is going to pop if we clear 19. This is just getting ridiculous.

For anyone that watches the price action on a/u. Time and time again, I have witnessed over the last few months,
Bad news will knock this down with a hard down bar, then it will slowly climb back up and beyond until the next round of bad news which knocks it down hard again, only to slowly climb right back up again.

The Aussie doesn't care about the fundamentals that should be supposedly driving it. Interest rate > *

I really have a vendetta against this currency. I can't wait until all the carry traders get their collective arses handed to them.

You really would think, by now, I would just join them. Mise well make some of that % and the upward rising price. I can't seem to do it though, for I know as soon as I buy, the aussie will have a meltdown! lol...
