Def could be the start of a bounce but at same time could be the start of a bigger sell off on daily chart. NZD starting to weaken as well.

GBP looks really weak too. Only a matter of time till the EUR joins in.

Perhaps it's time for USD and JPY strengthen now.

It seems there are no new sellers atm. To me, it seems trends have stalled, approaching 'violated' - but definitely not yet. The trend to me, seems intact. The market conditions just seem such that many are waiting till a more opportune time.

A bounced should be expected to retest 9300, but it seems like good resistance for now. I have been burned a lot with AUDUSD, like whackdiddy mentioned the divergences can last longer than an account.

Yeah. I reckon (generally speaking) it's not a good time to be trading the markets. Price action is weak and unpredictable, and divergences rife. I feel that the markets will pick up, and for that reason am generally holding off till they do. That's not to say that opportunities don't abound - but only if you seize them swiftly.

Price action week? unpredictable?

April is one of the most volatile months for FX and AUD often rallies (along with NZD) into May. If AUD doesn't pick up within a couple days and breaks lows, I expect mid 80's by end of May.

This is a good time to trade, you just can't be lazy.

You astutely raise very good points, Slow-Trader.

I'm just being cautious - admittedly, over-cautious given the nature of fx trading. But, right now (as in, what was the latter part of the UK session and US session) I see nothing I'm comfortable trading on - technically or fundamentally. Perhaps a coward earlier too, by not actioning a BUY signal in EUR/AUD - when AUD/USD was so close to resistance. But will be hunting the rest of the week.

Really? I got a good signal to sell NZD early this morning (opening London)! in at .8685.

This could have legs ... before upward movement continues ...

But NZD hasn't liked .868x and above the past few days. Short for lower .85xx's (maybe more)

Yeah, I should have sold AUD against EUR, for 50 pips or so - bang at 6pm here in Australia.

To be honest, I had no idea. I thought we were only good for shrimps and chips. Gotta stop watching the bloody charts and expand my horizons.

Selling AUD against the CAD is giving me green pipperoonies.

I was recently traveling through a dumpy little airport in 'murica where to my surprise I found an Outback Steakhouse. Sure, the neon Foster's sign was a dead giveaway that this place was not worth my time. But then I saw a Tooheys sign, and thought that odd. I moved around to the other side of the mall (why they put malls in airports these days I don't understand) and I saw a XXXX sign. I was able to ask an employee, who was on break, eating at the nearby Burger King (oh the irony, that's Hungry Jacks to you blokes), and he confirmed they did not in fact sell XXXX. So my perfect record of having never entered the corporate establishment goes unblemished. For if they had in fact served XXXX, I would have had to drink fond memories of a simpler time where all that mattered was drinking and fishing with the banana benders. Oh happy times, happy times. Outback Steakhouse is to Australia what Olive Garden is to Italy. Just pure American corporate shite. Keep 'em fat and happy in the pasture. They'll never know the difference, and never need to travel past the fence to experience the difference.

Anyhow, what were we going on about? Someone's attempt to make ten pips either way today? Resistance or futility of some such?

Ok, just for fun. Disappointing building approval numbers, bringing AUD lower, and from the perspective of the month of April, a small correction in a bull run.

Be careful, it's not actually a double top. It was a higher high yesterday. Just saying.
The trend is not your friend, it's your master.
