Why open long when the big pivot point has been hit ?

Its broken through this major support for a reason.

The only position is short with a stop above 1.0180..

Schoolboy error is -... its must be ranging therefore i will buy ..

Thats why are our friends over in Dlr/JPY land have sore botties.. not seeing the trend and always thinking its ranging

I've had enough selling at lows and buying at highs. I think there's a good risk/reward here for going long. Plus you have swaps so you can just hedge it.

This triangle is actually a triangle, bullish breakout could occur in the coming weeks. Yes maybe it has to go to 98 to go to 1.12

Sounds good, so no consideration for parity?

It's going up to where I wanted but apparently I closed it too early because I didn't have confidence in the slow movement. Guess I should have trusted myself more

I think you and Aeternum both have valid points. Apologies also that I'm a bit late on adding my two bobs worth. Fibs from daily chart from 1.06 to 1.0115 suggest 23% retracement point is around 1.023 and 38% around 1.03 so would need to be very careful with stops on shorts around 1.018 (retail sales result a case in point). Whilst it's good to trade the trend (currently down on daily & 4hr timeframes) there are always opportunities the other way, they just need to be evaluated on a risk reward basis as opposed to trying to open something for long term hold. Looking at 4 or 5 hr chart also shows that there's been several retracements during the down trend, eg of 140, 120 & 100 pips + 110 pips on current retracement. Each of these was an opportunity to have some good risk reward longs. We never know in advance when it's a retracement compared to reversal but we can always open good risk reward trades eg long around 1.012 (supported by lows 7/5/12 and 12/7/12) or short around 1.0220 or 1.029 with limit above the recent low.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Possible 1.03 target, dependant on reversal on the USD Index, bearish movement needed in the USD rather than the strengthening AUD.

Of course we need to consider that this could be a pull back before further continuation down to parity, possible 0.98 target trading triangle as in Chart 2. PS: Chart2 is a little out of date, doesnt show pullback, but is still valid.

Got some form of pullback which was nice, especially since I closed my shorts down at 1.016, currently sitting at 1.023, we are at the critical point of the H4 downwards channel, signals downward continuation below 1.01, ideally channel will break and further continuation up to 1.03 will occur

Looks like shorting would be ideal since its in a bearish trend though.
