Now I'm just in a quick scalp off the 5 min on GBPAUD There is no movement NY afternoons. So I will reenter both on either a. a pullback or b. continuation. Only support I see on either pair is the 200 SMA on the weekly EURAUD chart.

The AUDUSD stays in a bullish channel and it may try to reach the 0.7700 level.

It's rejected 0.765 4 times now recently, and the uptrend, while holding, is almost at it. Either it breaks higher or lower - but something has to happen soon. Until it does, I suggest there is unnecessary risk in taking positions.

I do have one short open from 765.

The 4HR chart is like a flight of stairs. So far consistently higher lows. It seems to me accumulation is occurring up to about 76.4 , then pa hits brick wall at 76.6. I agree a break is about to occur. I'm leaning towards a break up. I think this run may push it through resistance. It's been very stubbornly refusing to stop pushing up. I have pending now 76.23, will T.P. around 77 if it makes it. I've been doing pretty well picking the short term reversals so far, tight stops to protect profits.

darn. I closed my short from 7672 at 7654 cos I wanted to go to bed (I don't like holding positions overnight). That move down to the 100hour Ma a few hours later would have been awesome profitable.
But anyways, noting that the 100hour Ma still holds.
@starcraftmaz is right that we're gonna break out of this channel pretty soon. My view is still towards the upside because of a lack of fresh impetus to go down. The trend is your Friend till the end and imo the market hasn't found a reason to change this current upward trend yet.

You miss out on some of the best opportunities when you're sleeping. I missed the highs last night, had pending to close longs at 76.97 (optimistic). Settled for 76.56 when I woke up and shorted from there as well. Can't win em all. I have to go for long drive now, raised pending long to 76.25, do me a favor, ell, and look after it for me, would you?

@Ell3,

That's a waste! You might be able to profit handsomely since you trade on the lower time frames. Your tight sl might give you good risk to reward outcome. Anyway, I focus on trading the M30 and H1 time frame. I was longing the AUD/USD and like you went to sleep and I couldn't manage my position and the price came back to my entry. But, my trade setup was not invalidated, so I am still holding

Any new positions coming from you?

Safe trade to you!

Unfortunately your warnings don't come with anything to substantiate them

EURAUD and GBPAUD still have atleast 300 pips each to the short side. Already grabbed a ton, just looking for good re entry later this morning.

The whole move to the upside looks like a flag on the weekly time-frame. A new major drop is very likely, in my opinion.

There is also the COT report which has shown sustained adds of net longs. This has been the case for most of the year now. There was a reduction for a bit only after that bad Q1 CPI print but since then it's been net long from what I recall. Brexit might have tempered risk appetite, but it would appear that the search for yield is what is supporting higher AUD & NZD.

I think that now could be sell. I think that will retest level of the lower trend line. After touch - definitely - only to buy.

"I feel like not going to bed tonight" I know exactly how you feel Mate, I've got to get up and go to work in 5 hours, but I've shorted A/U again and look at the damned thing pushing the boundaries again

Yeah the yield seems to be the main attraction....makes sense with a world gone mad with negative rates
