Its Asian session. This happens a lot. We still have BoJ. AUD pairs well with yen
When the facts change I change my mind, what do you do sir

Hmm. So it printed red then.
Yes but I don't really think it matters for AUD. Seems AUD has the motivation to test 0.91231 by the end of this week and maybe 0.9287-0.9311 area next week, as long as the 4H chart keeps stay above 0.8970

I'm not so sure Yuchen nothing policy wise to suggest it RBA says lower aussie is needed Fed says taper is needed AUD data continues to be horrendous hard to see Aud moving up bc of weak USD or strong Aussie at this point just seems to me as an oversold bounce to sell into for at least .863 area

http://www.investing.com/news/econom...ectedly-251180 Seems China trade balance was already released and it fell to 0.00, but it was 40 mins ago.

I have seen these articles but trade balance to ZERO?

Surely this isn't even possible?

No, I think the real reason for the negative spike is because 0.9035 was former support and it became a weak resistance now, so it may need several times to try to break it, and some traders decide to close their long before the data released.
The employment changed came out a few seconds earlier than the unemployment rate, the employment decrease 10K instead of the forecast to increase 6.3K so this is one of the motivation for the quick drop, but the unemployment rate release as 5.7%, which is better than forecast at 5.8%, this offset the bad outcome of the employment change.

If you see the daily chart for this week, it creates higher low and higher high, if you see 4H chart, it shows after SMA (20) and EMA (20) forms a golden cross, AU never closed below it, if you see 1H chart, AU still above 0.8985 (I used 150EMA), so the short-term shows a uptrend.

Maybe everyone was already short on the Aussie so now with any news item regardless of whether it is good or bad it is only looking long AUS? Ask yourself this, if the Aussie jobs repoprt was strong what would have happened? It would have shot up another 50-100 pips and took out some more stops.

When the COT data shows the extreme position for such a long time at some point it simply has to bounce.

Yes, I agree with you, let's see how far it can go for this correction.

I think it's possible. The trade balance=export - import, so it is also possible to have a negative number.
China's economy looked ok but actually it is as bad as China's national soccer team....

.9035 broken, see if it can stay with a close. If so, next resistance will be .9126 level.

In EurAud, head and shoulder neckline was also broken. Could this be a reversal sign? Not yet maybe, until a new downtrend of LL in higher timeframe can be seen.

This may caused by BOJ that they decide to do nothing after the meeting. I think there are more fresh buys are build around 0.9035-40 area now.
