The point was that they trend together. The S&P was an example. Someone said AUD doesn't trend with commodities, and it does. But whatevs
When the facts change I change my mind, what do you do sir

I said it does, but with local commodity prices. Local Coal and Iron ore price weakness is causing weakness in the AUD.

commodity prices, interest rates, iron exports, gold and silver prices,unemployment figures, the price of kangaroo meat, and the price of tea in china.
with all of this valuable information, approx 95% of you were biased to the short side. very few of you actually posted a reason(like a supply or demand area),
lots of blah blah,with very little vision looking forward. If you go back to my charts and postings, you will see some structure depicting why the 95% wind up giving their money to the 5%. i have learned to not be biased in my thinking, and to let the chart(fact) guide me in my decisions. from my last chart postings, we are currently(on my chart) about 4 pips from my objective supply zone called 3 or 4 days ago. price may get there or not, or shoot right through it, who knows!
point is i had a reason. if trading isn't working out for you today, and it didn't work for you yesterday, why the hell would it work tomorrow?
trading is a craft, that derives a skill set. useless info only distracts you from what is happening, oscillators, wavy lines and all that junk is again there to take your focus away from the most important fact, price. clear your screens of the rainbow of colors and wavy lines and focus on the fact that if price changed at x price, it probably will have another reaction near that price. you all can be excellent traders that don't have to rely on other peoples opinions to trade(including mine), however, when i click the button to action, i'm confident in my click. all you need to trade are a few lines and/ or a few rectangles, that's about it...
good luck all

You're talking about price action? I need to do some extensive research into that.

Completely agreed with nealpek.

AUD growth unsustainable! - next two weeks will go down and this move up was purely speculative and was very hard for bulls. Soon they run out of money.

INFO:

In domestic economic news, Australian Bureau of Statistics data showed the unemployment rate in May was 5.8 per cent, in-line with forecasts. But economists said the labour market is softer than the headline unemployment rate suggests, with it hiding a falling participation rate as more job seekers give up looking for work.
"Employment tends to be a lagging indicator so it does not have a big influence on our equity strategy," Zurich Financial Services senior investment strategist Patrick Noble said.
Mining was the worst-performing sector, down 0.9 per cent, as the spot price for iron ore, landed in China, edged down another 0.1 per cent to $US93.50 a tonne. A steep fall in iron ore futures trading in China suggested the spot price would fall again on Thursday night.

No Arman, not price action.price action is simply the result of two opposing forces pushing back and forth over a period of time.
the direction that follows this price action is called supply and demand. it is these areas that make my trading decisions, not price action.
price action by itself is completely useless!!!

I simply use fibs and the support and resistance of the patterns, is this what you mean by supply and demand? Or do you have specific indicators which show it?

As I read your posts, we have a very similar view...My research on price action has derived a few very simple "truths" about currency pairs:

- They all have "extended areas" where reversal is highly probable. You refer to this as supply/demand zones, I simple consider it oversold or overbought. At oversold, it's buy time, At overbought, it's sell time. My research indicates from .9424 - .9518 is overbought territory for AUD/USD which began in the 9380 area.

- Whichever direction the pair moves, it can, and with high probability will at some point move the other direction double. I've been tracking this for a number of years and every calculated point gets hit. Regardless of how ridiculous it sounds. Current price area over the last couple of days was "forecasted" in Mid May for this pair when everyone was thinking we were heading further down...Nope...as you see, all that was happening was the rubber band was stretching out for more momentum to achieve a higher upside...no worries, right now with action in this area, the downside is clarifying.

Ultimately, my firm opinion is: Price action is the markets purest indicator. It is the ultimate expression of fear and greed entering the market.

I agreed all above threads saying AUD shouldn't be such high based on fundi
I also agreed all above thread saying AUD could move up to test prev high and even 0.95 base on tech.

AUD can stay here because of several reasons, good Q1 GDP, not too bad data, Cheap EU money, Cheap JP money and potentially more Chinese stimulus policy.

AUD definitely will below 0.92 this year. but you don't know when and where it will drop from. Maybe 0.94xx or even 0.95+

so risk management is key to do some anti-trend trade.

I still hold light short orders.

go on youtube and search supply and demand trading! some pretty good videos, they will guide you further.
i used to use fibs too... after blowing up my account, i took the leap and figured if three quarters of the trading world use fibs, and they are basically getting eaten alive in the markets, maybe, just maybe fibs aren't the 8th wonder of the world!!!
