To the people who are long, I wish all the best, but besides all your TA you have to do some FA as well. Australia cannot function for long when the rate is above parity. Tourism and exports (farming produce mainly) cannot compete in this market. These two sectors employ a large % of the population.

Do a bit of research and have a look at what things cost here and what things cost in the USA. I know the USD is struggling, but the AUD is ridiculously over valued. You can definatly make a bit of money going long in the short term, but there is...
maybe there are some groups who wanna screw australia by appreciating the currency then shorting it at high level.

this is exactly what happened in asia financial crisis in 1997. Malaysia claimed Soros was responsible for appreciating Asia currencies then shorting it.

Not quite true, exporting industries only account for 10% of overall employment in Australia, in fact stronger Aussie Dollar makes imports cheaper and brings more profits to commodity exporting industries especially since the demand is not slowing but in fact growing exponentially every year.
Strong Aussie hasn't hurt the export industry at all, the only ones complaining are the tourism and retail because of more and more people buying stuff online overseas instead of paying ridiculous prices locally.
Hell I got my Nike's shipped from the UK for 86 bucks all incl, same ones that cost 199 at foot locker here.
Don't get mad, get even!

Hello guys,

I don't participate in forum chat's. but today i did because of what i saw on my charts so wanted to share with you guys.


There is a nice confluence of trend lines and Fibonacci setup on the weekly chart.. I believe this pair should at least give 400-500 pips shorting at the current level


what do you guys say?

it seems that candles are in a swamp area the suitable strategy for this situation is to wait until the swamps drained out then run away with the smart candles

Looks like finally it going to move north....

All those patient people, you payout is comming be patient....

After some some up move, will move the SL to BE.
I closed my position for just 20 Pips.
When EUR is making higher high's this stupid AUD is just sitting there.

Looks like when EUR retraces, this guy will join hands to go low.

Will look for signals at 1.0330 area to get long....

hello
i want to re-share my plan which can be completely wrong.

this can be an epic fake bullfalg!!!
right above it there is a daily+weekly descending TL tested twice.
and overall price is printing a rising wedge in h4 + daily.

today price didn't move, i guess on a balance between suppl and demand.
now, when this happens i usually llok at main factor:
is it most important the uptrend in a rising wedge printing lower highs or is it most important a daily descending line where at previous touch price rejected for something like 1000pips?!

just to say.....
good luck every one.

I planned to short @ 1.0425 after a failure to break through 1.0440.. It went up to 1.04235 ...

Now I am waiting @ 1.0410

I am not comfortable shorting though.. there are too many retails short AUDUSD.

I agree... But we are at the top at the moment. Will go Long once we get to the entry level
