Good advice slk, at least I'm good now. Green pips all the way. Thanks for your advice.

I think movement is UP just a little, but trend line in H4 need go back to support. And if price goes UP, in MACD indicator makes divergence. Its in my mind. {image}
Yo! Are you still holding on this trade? The Aussie doesn't look like what's gonna go down anytime soon tho

Given the negative data from the US earlier it wouldn't surprise me if it breaks through the trend line to head north 0.770 or even 0.773. Its also a possible wave 3 on the 4hr tf. In any case when it bounced off the 4hr trend line yesterday it didn't go far, stopping at the 20ma before heading back up, this looks like it's trying to squeeze itself out. The 20ma is often a good area for takeoff.

So Trade balance figure is better than expected, not surprising considering the commodities rally.

All the recent media seems to be praising the AU as some kind of indicator of growing economies around the world. This is arguable.

- Commodities died, this caused the AU to fall to 0.70ish

- Now the aud is at 0.77 and Aus media/government is attributing this rally as some kind miraculous transition away from mining to 'innovation' when really commodities recovered 49% this year compared to last. That and property going nuts (1.1 million media house price in Sydney? Bubble much) causing the construction to increase dramatically. Manufacturing is dead in Au, jobs growth isn't great, core inflation low - if mining stops so does AU economy.

- 49% rise is purely China buying ore and coal. They seemed to have taken a liking to iron and their Dalian futures trading market has increased massively this year is proof of that. Combined with the Chinese government lending heaps of money to stimulate their economy and also the drop in the yuan, is making ore all the more attractive. Stock piles are building up for them to hold an re-sell but how long can this last?

We are basically at a best case scenario for the AUD and it is failing to go above 0.77, USD is very subdued with only one planned rate rise this year from the proposed 2 or 3 so there way more room and potential growth in US than that of AU.

I am short bias, all the pundits are 0.80 AUD going into next, but last year those same people were saying 0.60 AUD at the end of this year.

I wouldn't bet anything on China sustaining anything, I've had some people say around the traps in the next couple of year, that there will be a tightening by the Chinese government directly impacting their economy.

Down trendline still being respected.
More choppy and consolidation movement expected. Speculative moves are more likely since opinion polls are being released every now and then.

Looks like a big bull trap. Big moves often follow traps. SkyrEk trendline from above is being well respected and price is moving south.

For those not living in Aus, the economy over here, is really bad (especially in the west where all of the commodity dollars lie).

i noted the trend line too, but the speed of the fall is suspicious. i've got the entire move in one M5 candle. if it steadies, may consider "speculating" a small buy position back to 7670.

Don't you think buying would be gambling? well it's all gamble anyway

Yup, region around .7685 is a strong resistance indeed. Bull trap? Probably. As we all will know by now, this AU moves in a choppy manner, so i wouldn't hold my shorts for too long too. No idea when will it bounce back up again, but if i go according to my chart, i guess there is more downside to come before any real trend will persist.

Probably around .7580 - .7585?
I will exit my shorts once i feel that prices are going to turn back up again, AU requires closer monitoring as compared to trading this pair a couple of months back.

The 1hr candle closed with a big bearish candle. So i will expect more downside before it goes back up again.

Just my opinion, anything goes in FX

well, if anything, it looked like a typical risk-off reaction. the "sell first, think later" type. could also be stops tripping on the AUD/JPY cos the JPY was moving first. the AUD buying coupled with USD selling momentum has been strong and i don't think that will really change until the election is over.

for the record, i didn't buy eventually and i'm slapping myself now.

i have this demo account with my broker which i still keep until today, cos i use it for additional charts. i enter trades on it too - basically the trades which i have no guts to enter on my live trading account - from July 2016 till today, it has grown from US$5000 to US$1.1mil. it just shows that if we all trade without fear, we'll be much richer people if only!

Hahaha i guess in life there are many 'ifs' and regrets that we feel when we don't take a certain trade. Anyway, at least u are growing your demo funds, once u transfer that knowledge and do the opposite for your live account, you would be rich too!

probing at the topside trendline @ 7683 again. this time it may well break above, because unlike at previous attempts when the AU was at this level, the EU and UJ were all also at extremes. Now, however, the EU is still at the middle of the day's range, so is the USD index. any further downside move in the USD index could trip the stops above. nonetheless, bought at 7661 and closing now to lock in profit. will sell if it reaches 7690.
