With the weak US jobless data, didn't expect the AUD/USD to be going down. But then again, AU is following lock-step with EU today and is weak today. I am seeing 5 pips drop in AU for every drop in EU. There is a trichet speech at 2:00 pm, if EU drops further at that time, you can expect AU to drop further.

My 2 cents

Oh Well, that analysis just went out of the door with that ECB announcement of USD loan coordination.

Good of you of taking some pips earlier

closed my 0240 and 0340 @ 0340. Will rebuy on a dip below 0300, or a break of 0380. If 0380 gives way, should be clear sailing up to 0450 area. 0480 cannot be violated, else a lot of EW shorts are going to be screwed. It's up to the equity markets now. They will interpret just what this ECB announcement means and how much affect it will really have. If means short term salvation for Greece, close your shorts. Fast. The downside will be over for a while.

Rebuy 1 lot @ 0290. Hoping that area of resistance will turn to support. No more buys agian until below 0200 or a top break of 0380. Still targeting 0750 area.... but that might not be for a week or two.

just depends on how long you are willing to hold it. Long term short this pair sucks because of swap. We may very well get another good dip.... I would definatley hang on until a break of 0380. But that's just me, I don't know your situation.

Congrats, Chilly. I would hang on to that 0194 if you can afford to. If some of this risk settles down for a week or two, it could be a big winner for you.

Yes Sir! She is a free trade now, so I'll let her ride. I see us possibly ranging here a bit given the past weeks PA @ 362 and 292. I would like to see 476 really, but been hard to put a real plan together here as of late.

The Daily close on AU yesterday was a selling climax bar.

I was surprised (and delighted) a couple of weeks ago when Jim Rogers mentioned on Bloomberg that they actually use these as guides in their trading strategies (He didn't mention what TF). It was smaller than previous ones (however it maybe all that was needed)-- but in a key zone on the 76 fibs. (The EU decline began with a Monthly Buying Climax (and 3 months of Distribution behind that)

Daily Bear EW count is invalided at 1.0764 The origin/start of wave 1.

Wave 2 could easily go to 1.0624 the 76 Fib (nice fractal) and the origin of the first wave 2 of 1. Or end at 1.0360...

Here's small shot of my daily/weekly count.

Well, we approach 0370ish area. Of greater importance is Dow 11,414. If Dow can clear this hurdle with a daily close above, it should be clear sailing for A/U up to at least 0450 area...maybe 0480. Then we will have to watch for Dow 11,613. A break there and A/U shorts would need to have their head examined for holding on. That would clear the way for a retest of 0750-0800 region. Will the secondary top hold there? That is where the answers will come in regards to big picture trend reversal. If we tested that area, and had a STRONG rejection, I would consider getting short..... and that takes a lot for me to say!!

LOL..Yep you said it... Optimistic pessimism. I'm in the same boat. S&P bull flag scenario looks to have room to the upside, but if see fails (and is bear flag) we will be back to a 9965.

edit..need more coffee
