There's room for more up on the buck... Up to 78.80 or so.
Time will tell.

It will sit for a bit, and gather steam. Get out your scalpel

No problem now as this will easily break parity. Its that 0.9800 to break, then its down to circa 0.9400

The Aussie topped out against the rest of the G-10 currencies at the end of last year. Since then, it has been trading sideways. In the case of AUDUSD, this has also been the case. Now, parity is within reach once again and a key rising trendline has been taken out intraday. The next steps are a close below the psychologically important parity level and then the big 0.9800 area support on the way, perhaps, to a test of the 200-day moving average (currently 0.9525)

missed the reaction at '23 which was minor pivot, will enter a portion here (38) in case it takes off here, if it makes new low at'16 will enter another there, if drops further will either take the loss or temporarily hedge depending on PA.
Managed to get away with only a 1.5 pip loss, would have probably made a profit if i could stay up (night in my timezone) will see how it finishes for the week and what news we get over the weekend.
There's no doubt all this stirring in the North Africa is US$ positive as oil is still traded in the currency, i don't think it really is risk aversion yet, we'll find out soon enough though.
As far as TA is concerned i'm always cautious of ascending triangles as they usually provide excellent opportunities to short ! so far my high is 1.0200 not 250 to me it appears that is the selling level.

No, definitely banking on a short position right now, sorry. It's RIGHT at parity lol......it cleared above twice now and was rejected multiple times at the 1.02 level in the last two months, that's a RR of 200 pips for a drop below. There's no real fundamental reason to support AUD this high at this moment, the market is flipping negative on commodities etc. So this isn't a good time to go long, unless you are totally scalping pips on the dollar

If the large money is truly selling, which price action seems to indicate, then this thing will drop in increments this month. April and beyond, I don't know, but I'd be hesitant to buy aussie at the current levels, unless you are hoping for less than 100 pips and have a tight stop loss.

Hope i can see this one through towards 0.8900
Its been a genuine technical target...and now the fundamentals are supporting that too

Not much calculations needed as to immediate direction...but i think the strength of the fall will get stronger, as this pair still owes about 3 to 4 days of 300 pip falls on a gap to gap basis.
Is definitely heading for that 0.9800 mark..once broken we can say hello to 0.9400 pdq!!

Looking extremely confident about this one, even though i have a short few hundred pips above parity, i know it won't get filled...period!

This could be an Audi Convertible at 0.9500

Yes that's it.....but I don't rely on it...its just there to make the screen look pretty lol! You can try it out...if you find a good way to let it work, let me know.

I use mostly trendline breaks and S&R......(most important thing on my chart is hand drawn trendline and H,L,HL, LL etc.....)

Yes. Long @ 0.9995, but this is a counter-trade and a short-term trade (that is: a few days if profitable, or perhaps I'll exit tomorrow if it goes further down). I would not recommend counter-trades PS: I was short from 1.185 closed today 1.010. So I would wait for a good bounce then short it again. JMO.
