Is there any specific reason behind this sudden up move? Or is this just some large profit taking of some sort?

The reason is in the charts. Stop looking for fundamental reasons unless you're an economist in loop with the world news ALL the time. Just my 2 cents for u.

What was in the chart? The overall bearish trend? The temporary consolidation that we had before before a further move down? Or the break through a larger support a few days ago?
The overall trend should still be down for not only aud but also nzd and today nothing really came out that would weaken the dollar or strengthen the aud/nzd. Heck the Philly index was better than expected (although still not stellar).

Ha, I saw that. I was in on that spike to but got caught placing stop too early.

That GU was a perfect entry - risk less than 10 pips

I was killed by the spread during Draghi presser

guessing this is it until the Asian session... that little pop outside the trend channel will probably stall it for a bit. Can't say it won't grind higher but I don't think there will be as much momentum associated with it. With that cyclical top in place (light blue line on top) I wouldn't be suprised to see some technical easing between now and tomorrow (or at least in the next 48hrs). So I guess basically that means I can get off this thing and get some coding done...
