Fixed {quote} You should be cheer-leading for people to buy so the price will drop.
it is the policy of the Central Bank of Australia) in addition to the market more buyers than sellers. all this just says that there is someone to sell, the price will go down slowly. Also the head of the Central Bank Glenn Stevens - "I see a price 0.8500." This price will be good for the economy. Do the findings themselves. you need small bounce or basic motion down trend?
sorry for my english.

{quote} But AUD still has the highest interest return and Australians are very conservative and there is no catalyst like there was in the USA to reduce those interest rates further.
biggest interest rate in Russia and Ukraine. and what do we have?

you keep harping on the .8500 comment that glenn stevens didn't really make. did you read the transcripts of the article? you should read it. if you did read it he said ultimately for AU to feel the most comfortable " he sees the currency having an .8 in front of it, OVER TIME." the .85 number holds no relevance other than a headline that was an excuse for hedge fund and big player year end selling and unraveling of big positions over time, they needed the vols of NY and London together to unwind and a headline to trigger it. the paper that wrote the article regarding the .85 from stevens released the article to the markets at like midnight in Australia when 80 percent of the people were sleeping and it was during the NY and london markets, ironically when the most liquidity was there. my point is that, just like actors and actresses have PR companies that plant stories for public opinion, so does forex markets. they release stories and they have there own agenda for releasing them, and to take a very well placed and timed article that was vague and general at best in what he said, if you read it, as your trading blueprint in the near term, then it looks like the headline was a success.

I don't think there is any argument the AU is working its way down OVER TIME, but for the last few days I have read all your posts detailing how its gonna fall like an anchor based upon your analysis, which in most instances, is overzealous, incorrect, and manipulated in your favor. I wish you luck in your trading but it needs to be understood that there are many newbie traders on here, who look at these posts like the person posting them must know something. use discretion when posting your points unless you clearly dictate its in your opinion and not fact, so these newbies don't get confused or misled.

Just one fact. The whole world is buying the Australian dollar. Where's the money? When more buyers in the market, what's happening? someone has to lose. Due to this fact alone. Need to sell, not buy.
I do not want to argue. because I'm not forcing anyone to buy.
as a glut on the market to buy. so in my opinion the money is at a price below.

I don't feel as though this is an argument, and Im also very confident that not everyone in the world is buying the AU. its still very popular for its interest rate on a carry for any trader, but a TON of hedge funds piled into the AU over the last few years and they need to start to unwind those positions as they prepare for an inevitable interest rate reduction prob within 12 mos, which takes time because they may not have the vols at the time or they are competing with other funds in an attempt to unwind at the same time and potentially same price to start unloading and unwinding at. nevertheless, we both agree there are buyers lined up down where you are noting, the question is when it gets down to your number, whether in the near term or long term, that is where individual preference comes into play.

As soon as AUDUSD breaks the support I go Short for another 900 pips down (0.8800 to 0.7900).

So I would go long EURAUD and short AUDNZD as well.

Not saying you're wrong, but Wells Fargo is pitching a higher interest rate environment. Just thought I'd share that for shits and giggles. Personally, I have no objection to a higher interest rate in either the USA or AUS. But why do you think the RBA interest rate reduction is 'inevitable'?

listen, I would love for the AU interest rate to keep climbing and I hope wells is right(although it will take a lonnnnnngggg time for US to match those AU rates), and considering im a retail trader who doesn't buy 15-20 plus lots at each and every pop, its easy for me to get in and out of trades while enjoying the swap, but for hedge fund x or Y, being caught over invested in a currency that has the potential of a rate reduction, even the potential rhetoric that debases equity, that its govt clearly so desperately wants, is why were seeing such an aggressive sell off from the unwinding, just based upon the potential exposure on the amt invested. I used the term inevitable because I personally think that is what its going to take to get the currency to a rate that is productive across the board and most beneficial to the aussie economy and what I personally think stevens sees as an ideal mark. I don't personally think IMO that they can do it with out a rate cut because you will always have larger sums of money and retail traders like myself diving in there to utilize the swap and carry, but the other side of the argument is that they need the investment into the AU to carry at least a good part of the economy, so let me say, the inevitable rate cut would be IMO for a quarter of a percent, but wouldn't be too much to push away the constant flows they need and have been relying on.

While "inevitable" may be said to be a strong language in the context that anything can happen,I hold the view that a rate cut is a "necessity" for the the good of the Australian economy.If this wasn`t the case the RBA wouldn`t have slashed rate at all,and recent rhetoric from him is pointing toward further rate cuts(remember he said last week that he wants the oz around 0.85000;and he can cut rate to achieve that), bcos a strong oz is not a good thing for the economy

to me it looks like bear trap long from here
Seems not, price still resisted by .8968. Any slight rallies are heavily sold down. We are still deep down in bear territory.
The true fact is market doesn't care, risk mgt is important.
