Any view on AUD/CAD? It seems to be even more overbought then AUDUSD.
IMHO short.

Glad to finally see a little upwards movement for those of us holding longs. It's been pretty hard work these last few weeks but I'm still standing as solid as a rock with a heavily long position.

There may be plenty more downside in the short term but even at the current price it seems like a great medium to long term buy particularly with that juicy swap.

Just a tip for tomorrow, I'm very confident of better than expected GDP numbers for China. Likely to see a very nice spike up in the Aussie tomorrow. Just before the announcement, I will jump in with a large long position. Good luck gents

I was just checking out the up coming usd data,
US Core PPI m/m is expected a 1% decrease-bad?
US Trade balance is expected to still be low at -51.9b from -52.6b-bad?
US is expected to have 2k less unemployment claims-measly gain
US Natural Gas storage is expected to be down 22b from 42b-bad?

Lets see how much damage it can do, havnt seen aud take out a high in a while so am in doubt, waiting it out, china should have a nicey tomorow

I've been quietly accumulating a position in AUD/USD and have an average of about 1.2880. Take a look at the first daily chart. It appears PA found some support on the down trend line that was broken to the upside in January. We've finally retested it while being enclosed in a down-trend channel since February.As you can see, we're potentially breaking out of that channel now. Also notice how the 61.8% fib retracement served as nice converging support zone with the down trend line I spoke of earlier.

Take a closer look at the 4H shows the potential break-out from the down-trend channel. My advice is to look to the fib zones for potential targets and pullbacks. Notice how the 50% fib served as a rejection zone for the first attempt to break higher just the other night. Well, we came back and made it through, but I'd still prefer to see a run up toward the 38.2% fib zone above 1.0450 at a minimum.

I think this is very doable and if AUD/USD can hold well above this down-trend channel, we could be entering into a new bull leg for the pair. If so, a fib extension based off the daily chart puts a target in the 1.1200 zone, but I won't hurt your heads too much talking about that yet ;-)

Nice going hanging in there, I know that last couple of weeks have been tough. Feels good to be holding long today, and with those numbers (44K) blowing past expectations it looks as if the rate cut is surely put on hold.

Shorts are probably still holding (in hope mode) right now. I do not know what to expect with the China GBP numbers tomorrow. Why are you so confident? Just a feeling or something a bit more concrete. Good numbers out of China tomorrow would send this pair up nicely.

Geppy, brilliant analysis! Many thanks.. I've had a yearly target in the 1.12 to 1.15 range myself for a while. It certainly does look like the tide is turning. For now we need to sit and wait for some important figures to be released, perhaps we will have a better price to long in the coming days.

Rate cut should still happen. Even a 50 basis point cut is a chance, albeit less likely now. Already priced in as a ~70% chance, a rate cut next month will cause some brief consolidation before a continuation of the up trend.

I doubt one report is enuff.It must be a lot of reports put together making this move and it is almost impossible to piece together a picture from them telling the right direction.At the same time,there are lots of secrets never disclosed at all,so it is God work.
