I was long on AUD/USD before RBA rate cut, though trend and forecast predicted the opposite. Closed @1.471. Now short on the same, but not sure how this will work out this time.

It still hasn't even retraced to hit the Daily TL.

Probably looking to find fresh liquidity from new buyers. Not too sure though to be honest...

major upswing in aud is a possibility with more chances than random walk theory would suggest.

There is some friction as it appears RBA does not like it. On the other side, free money from safe haven status comes handy. not necessary RBA will start anti AUD campaign as not everyone loses.

G'day pips' hunters,
... no retracement since RBA decision, however there is a clear topping price structure,
but too early for me to pull a trigger on short ... another 2-hours till GDP q/q numbers.
So, maybe then, if the outcome will show negativity. Just wait & see game for now ...

GDP day for Australia and this country has flat lined.

At least 6 Australian companies who have survived for over 100 years ( the big depression and 2 world wars ) have gone under. Surely they aren't all run by incompetents? There must be a common theme and I think I have found it. - Wayne Swan Australian Treasurer who was branded as the worlds greatest treasurer in 2011 by Europeans.. In Australia we call it a Bradbury ( the term stems from an Australian Olympic Ice skater Steven Bradbury who was coming last and won Gold as the rest of the competitors fell over).. A former RBA governor in around about way agrees

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politi...205-2au3j.html

The current stats don't reflect the economic conditions in Australia.Its worse. What the frustration that many are confronted with is that it aint any good elsewhere.

GDP 0.5 a tad below expectations.. but the economists keep forgetting one thing.. the government handed out Billions of dollars to Australians to offset CO2 tax and brought forward school allowances. . Imagine the GDP number with out it?

It aint good but as I said before looking around there isnt much else that does.

Curious as to who the 6 are?

Agreed, most of my indicators are pointing for a move to the upside.

1.0453 - (Bids) DPV and 4H 9EMA
1.0440 - (Bids) WPV and Daily 9EMA
1.05-1.0516 - (Offers) DR1 and MR1


All of the below measured in respect to the 1H 9EMA ("Where is the 1H 9EMA in respect to X indicator")

DPV - Above
WPV - Above
MPV - Above
Daily 9EMA - Above
Daily 4H 9EMA - Above

I've attached a picture below of the key support levels. With RBA on the horizon, anything can happen, but price indicates higher unless that zone is taken out.

There was an article on forexlive that Paulsons clients are calling in for redemptions & he has to satisfy them & he has a huge gold position so basically he's being forced to liquidate.

I agree with your basic gist, but what makes you think the RBA conducts market operations so much? Depth and liquidity of all AUD loans is increasing but there are 'natural ceilings'. Do you not agree?

there are shades visible of RBA beeing uncomfortable with current exchange rate. My hypotesis is that whoever is buyer of bonds, in a way dictates RBA view.... Just hypotesis at this stage. So, they will not do anything to upset investor(s). Going from stone cruncher status to reserve currency is also uplifting, dont you think ? Worth recession or two even....
