i doubt they are exhausted... but you can't just keep going up without falling back down right? not including the 2008 situation and some other times. if it continues to be a bear below 1.0000 then I'll consider being a bear. I tried many times shorting this and was wrong many times. this time stopped out and it reversed. o_O maybe i'll be better as a bull. I would try a bull trade at 1.01000? perhaps but most likely it won't even reach that point.
agree with you.

i expect corrective move, my reentry target is at 1.0190~1.0160 area, but now it appears, the bear is not strong enough (i mean there is not much seller even with this high price...)

i also agree with you about shorting this pair only makes more loss than profit. IMHO, big player is making money by "investing" on high yield asset, so they don't short this thing, instead they will unwind their position if things is going bad, this will happen so fast, on most of time we hard to follow... to successful shorting asset, you need high skill to be a "speculator". you need to short before they unwind their position.

Well I hope that link can load because I don't know how else to upload the pic. Btw it shows a very different picture from redbox's technical drawings, so perhaps it can better explain the rejection from a purely technical point.

And there you go the updated chart after sometime... seems to confirm the pattern.

Momentum on AUDUSD is looking quite bearish now on all the timeframes from 15 minutes out to the 8 hour chart. Therefore, I'm looking for pullbacks of around 2% nominal value in most of the AUD pairs. As I also expect to see particular strength from the JPY and CHF in the coming days, I've shorted AUDCHF and AUDJPY today.

Here are my trade specs:

AUDCHF entered at .9790. Stop: .9956. Limit: .9595.

AUDJPY entered at 82.04. Stop: 84.43. Limit: 80.80.

I am prepared to add leverage to these positions should they go against me moderately, hence the seemingly long stops.

Well say I'm hoping to short 20 lots of AUDUSD (2,000,000). My interest payment a day will only add up to say about 180 dollars. In contrast, every pip it falls nets me 200 dollars. Say I'm in it for 2 days, and within these 2 days AUDUSD falls by 50 pips. I'd have earned 10k from the trade, minus the 360 dollars, that'd still add up to more than 9.4k.

So your theory is only true assuming big players are only interested in the positive carry so to speak. They could just as well enter when AUD is overpriced to shock the market downwards because negative interest doesn't really pose a problem for them. Also it seems that only in the past 2 years that AUD broke above parity, possibly due to weakening USD. With risk slowing down worldwide (China, Europe etc.) AUD in the long run will find its place slightly below parity.

yes, if you are in right direction, you will make huge profit.
on down day, all high yield asset can down really fast = huge profit.
if you wrong, your damage will more with negative swap.

you talk like you know what the price will be going
if one can know for sure, that market itself will be broken.
no one want to trade agaist you.
big player make money by investing, by invest on riskier asset when time is good. when time is bad, they will protect their "performance".

if you see a lot of market, you can see,
eg. last Friday, you can see AUD up, EUR up, NZD up, equity up, commodity up. on other day, when one down, others is down too. why?

think this is coincidence? DON'T

Well you forgot one little fact, big investors don't trade Forex, they convert other low interest currencies into AUD and park their cash in Aussie banks where they can earn over 5%pa.
Also any foreign money invested in any current project in Australia needs to be converted first, all those conversions add up and inevitably push the exchange rate up.
Simple supply and demand reality, retail Forex is basically insignificant in determining the actual exchange rate.

Essentially yes, I agree with you. I am merely offering a different perspective.

Right now we seem to have a minor shark in the waters scenario; a consolidation poised for the New York markets to take to another level. Unfortunately banks are closed, so I wonder where the movement will come from, if at all. According the the past pattern it may break up, right back to the top of the channel. I hope, however, that it breaks down, and ends the channel paradigm for these 2 days.

Yes I do not dispute that. I wonder though if AUD manipulation on a large scale is possible. In that case how do investors do it if they do not trade Forex? Clearly not in the same way as us... but I believe they do have the might to sink it if they wish.

Just for the record I am of the sentiment that the Australian currency is designed to be bullish very long term, but in the shorter long term... with risk looking bad in general, as redbox says, the big guys may take out their money and put it in something else. Year end forecasts of AUDUSD are for now below parity and I think for good reason.

They trade between each other, major banks especially, some large hedge funds and some central banks bid and ask all the time. Depending on volume in the market some of them clearly could move the exchange rate one way or another through rogue bids.

Breaking up as predicted. I think she may have an upside of 1.035 as that was a point of major contention quite awhile back. From there we may expect a bounce down.

Say however, if she keeps on bouncing up and down the channels... she may end up falling all the way back down 1.016 levels even after clearing 1.031.

Speaking of which, I need to be patient and not overtrade lol. Just lost today's pie to the ravens.

i'm agree with stulic about big money are not trading fx, but...
they targeting 'equity' market. to be able to invest at Australia for example, they need to convert some capital (usually from low borrowing cost like $, ¥ or Fr) to A$. --- i'm not trading Australia equity market but i can predict now it in bullish momentum.

yes, in long term outlook, i think AUD will make new high. 1.2xxx 1.3xxx i don't know how far it can fly. it applied to other riskier asset like S&P, etc... for short term, we just get out from risk aversion mode.
i also think there will be a down time, but not because big player unwind they position. big money have difficulity to deal with liquidity, its not easy to in & out market like us. but they can make some bad news to scare retail out the market.
