Be careful.

Downgrade hasnt come out officially yet.
It was France News reporting of downgrade. Basically echoing the rumor.

I am parking a Sell above 1.03 with SL 1.038 in case there was no downgrade.

Reviewing CICR and AUDX (H4 chart below), I am not comfortable/confident that I should be shorting AUD just yet.

AUDX is showing bounce off support lines (Yellow and Red lines) suggesting AUD is very supported. The drop we saw just a few hours ago was mainly USD strength due mainly to EUR weakness. AUD didnt weakened and therefore, short AUDUSD short wont work beautifully just yet.

What is your target?

CICR is pointing to more downward movement beyond the trendline it bounced off of?

So euro downgrades would shoot AUDUSD up?

This thread is a little quieter but I like it. I want to note that today is the best day I have ever had in a single session. Shorts on nearly all euro pairs at or around the peak from yesterday (aud, gbp, usd, cad, jpy) performed magnificently especially usd and aud and i am out of all except my long term eur/usd and part of my eur/cad. hope everyone did awesome today

downgrades are already priced in

if the downgrades feel worse than anticipated, expect another dip. or the opposite if they are better than expected.

It's been on an tear for the last 10 years.

It's basically better than gold at this point.
There's alot of big money wanting to get in on Aussie, It has so many support levels.

It's the worlds best currency. That and the Yen.

you can never really ever find it cheap. Big money grabs it up quickly.

As much as I am a bear AUD bias for most of my trading years since 2006, sad to say, I agree this currency will never go down... I've seen the light this 2012.

Why? USD is just plain OVERBOUGHT!
AUD has one thing behind it: China! Megagiant China. Shorting AUD is shorting China. Sure Chinese (Shanghai) stock market has dropped and keep dropping since 2008. Guess what, AUDUSD has risen beyond 2008, these two have decoupled (not correlated). AUD is correlated with commodity for which BRICS consume.

ADD: (I'd like to point out that China is not Shanghai Stock market. Inspite the fact that Shanghai Stock Market dropping and keeps dropping - China surged into World's #2 Economy implying the fact that China is not Shanghai Stock Market)


Like I said earlier, I am not gonna short AUD just yet! Not yet. It is strong. Check AUD index. it is resilient.

Take a look again at AUDUSD.
RISE! RISE!
I bet we could retest 1.0380 again or the Daily 200MA next week
  • #38,892
  • Jan 13, 2012 3:48pm Jan 13, 2012 3:48pm
Notice that we failed to test last week's high.

Last week we had a H4 bearish divergence, from a high of 1.0385 we dropped and then retested a similar high before falling, this week a similar setup occurred.

My initial analysis to sell at 1.0330 was a break of the M30 double top neckline, but 1.0327 would be a more accurate number, my profit target was 1.0235 which is the uptrend's fib 62 retracement. With it being well respected, I would expect a test of 1.04 where big sell orders are placed.

However, with the big names like france and austria losing their AAA status, i'll be once again hesistant to long. Better to short rallies than get trapped with a long.

Next week, buy every dip. Keep shorting EUR/AUD and GBP/AUD, fresh new historic lows are in front of us.
Don't get mad, get even!

The pessimistic euro bets corresponded with a 10% increase in bets that the dollar will appreciate, a net total of $17 billion or 44,587 contracts.

Large traders were more optimistic about the Australian dollar, boosting their bets by 14% to a net $5.5 billion or 53,526 contracts.

Major and minor trend on 12h & 4h = UP
but
the strong resistance 1.0387 is ahead of rising aud
personally consider the breakout.

aussie has managed to hold its own against a strong US dollar so far this year, but weakness in the Australian economy may push the pair downwards.

Technical levels, from top to bottom: 1.05, 1.0450, 1.04, 1.0336, 1.02, 1.00, and 0.9890.

hello,
i was giving a look at major trend and weekly chart....
i will search short opportunities in the cyrcled area near 1.0400 -1.0460.

reversal pattern in faster TF could mean a possible move some pips down.
