A possible short selling trade on AUD/USDAfter soaring higher this week, an exhausted shooting star was formed on 120 m TF, the rejection was confirmed by the second bar, I prefer to sell short on the selling zone between 0.7800-0.7810, SL immediately above shooting star candle, the first take profit target will be 0.7735, second 0.7675, and the third 0.7610, the Risk to reward ratios: 1:1.625, 1:3.125, and 1:4.75 respectively.
Good Luck

AUD/USD Approching Gartley Sell PatternAny way RBA Interest rate hold and jobs data beat the the forecast today, Positive datas are helped for Aussie strength but trader are more bearish on Aussie on long term.
AUD/USD going through complex corrective wave pattern we expect more downside on the aussie on coming weeks.
I am gng to sell the AUSIIE on 0.7740 to 0.7750 level Risk Reward ratios is 1:5
Aussie long above top trend line of the channelThe pair broke above the top trend line of the downward channel and should find buyers around 0.7670/ 0.7700 level. 100MA comes at 0.7730 and should support the pair in near term. Next major target on the upside would be 0.8000 physiological level and 0.8250 high of Jan 2015
AUD/USD - Short - WeeklyOn the weekly time frame we have seen a nice pin bar/shooting star form. It has rejected off of the .500 Fib and if you zoom into the daily chart it has rejected from the 200EMA.
From here we may see a small pull back into the pin bar but overall my bias is short on this pair.
Just be aware of the fundamentals this week, we have a few big releases coming out of the US.
PULLBACK FROM BREAKOUTThe Aussie has broken supports, first support formed by zone between 0.7735-0.7750, and second support formed by channel's bottom at 0.7700. Now we can see a pullback testing these zones how resistence. Also we have the line of MM's 200H doing resistence. Likely the price goes to zone 0.7490-0.7470
AUD/USD - Short from channel trend lineSo initially I was waiting for a pull back to .78500 for this pair before going short. Price has now broken out of the channel and is heading south. Ideally I would like to see a pull back to .76800 before entering which may take a couple of days if it moves back at all. Price has stalled at the yearly low set on 2nd Feb.
I don't advise blindly entering this trade. Please observe price action around this price area and look for a rejection at .78600.
AUD/USD DAILY BEARISH FIB FULFILMENT AUD/USD DAILY DAILY BEARISH A,B,C,D, FIB HAS RECENTLY BEEN FULFILLED.
BOUNCE TO THE UPSIDE EXPECTED TO FORM A NEW LOWER HIGH BEFORE FALLING
TO THE WEEKLY OVERALL FIB 2 TARGET.
FRIDAY THE 19TH DECEMBER DAILY CANDLE CLOSE NEARLY SCRAPED A BULLISH ENGULFING BUT NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL IN TERMS OF BULLISH MOMENTUM.
DUE TO FULFILLING THE DAILY FIB D EXTENSION AT 0.8140 WE COULD POSSIBLY SEE A SMALL BOUNCE TO THE UPSIDE...MAYBE EVEN TO CREATE A NEW LOWER SWING HIGH, MAYBE A 4TH T.L BOUNCE BEFORE RESUMING THE OVERALL DOWNTREND AND REACHING THE 0.7750-90 WEEKLY FIBONACCI EXTENSION 2
OVERALL THE LONGER TIMEFRAMES FOR AUSSIE ARE POINTING SOUTH AS WE ALSO HAD A STRONG MONTHLY KUMO BREAK FOR NOVEMBER CLOSE...
WILL BE CHECKING BACK ON THIS PAIR THE 5TH OF JANUARY.
AUD/JPY bounce coming?The AUD/JPY rally from 10/16 to the 11/21 peak was remarkable but since then price has been selling. From a fundamental stand point both currencies have reasons to weaken however the Japanese have acted more decisively in weakening their currency.
Price is now sitting on a potential line of support. Will the bounce come here and send price over 100 and beyond?
Short Target in Play based on setup initiation breakout.We've had a short break (a while ago) and have retraced back above my target entry point. This gives a great risk reward ratio since I didn't get in on this originally (wasn't watching pair - note to self need to script/automate setup identification!!). Anyway I'm now in short to T1 and then will reduce position and set trailing stop on remaining.
As per all my previous setup IDEAs (having great success by the way!) I am not identifying trend here as I am merely identifying price targets based on price action and underlying short-term momentum - I do use higher time-frames to give me a view on direction but due to risk per trade (no more than 1%) I am looking for short term action that gets me in and out on a reasonable timeframe.
AUD/USD reversingFollow up of my previous chart. Things look a bit clearer on 5 min chart.
As I've said, price bounced @ main channel resistance line and pierced hagopian line (pink).
I'm waiting for the correction and a slight bounce, ideally @ 0.8745
Potential entry point in the green circle.
Stoch must be preparing to go down.
~1 hour
***again my downward channel reistance line isn't showing, I guess it's a bug.
AUD/USD - Waiting to go ShortThis channel seems solid. If the price hits the resistance line, wait for the slight bounce and go short. Ideal entry would be in the green circle.
However, this is valid only after the GDP release (orange vertical). Don't initiate any trade before that.
*Price doesn't have to move exactly according to my arrows.
What's important is to hit the resistance line after the GDP release and bounce back down a bit. RSI must be overbought with Stoch preparing to go down.
~2 hours
AUD/USD could go up soonHigher risk since we're in a downtrend, but could be worth.
Support line 0.879 cracked but the price quickly turned back. Lets say the price continues up and breaks the channel resistance (blue circle) corrects back to support line 0.879 and bounces back up again. That can be a great spot to go long (green circle).
It doesn't have to play out exactly according to my arrows. What's important is to break the channel resistance and bounce @ 0.879 support.
- intraday
AUD/USD Weak Bullish BAT PatternAUD/USD have a Bat Pattern all of the pattern traders already entered right now they make this pattern 0.618 then after Elliott wave traders going to control the market. Be careful with your enter point and Stop lost because still we have a bearish trend
Hope have nice journey...
AUD/USD Continued Short BiasAll of last week I was short the AUD/USD and this netted some decent pips. NFP data did stop me out but my tight parabolic SAR trailing stop (4H chart) ensured most of last week's move was bagged. The question is whether the downside bias will continue. I think it will and have entered short as we are testing the kumo from beneath on the daily chart. I expect price to try and retest this level (also represented by the top of the Kumo on the 1 hour chart) and the Kijun (red line ofn the 4hour chart) before continuing to the downside. Some fairly big economic data concerning Australia later in the week mind so watch out for an increase in volatility
AUD/USD to Continue Short?I have been short the AUD/USD pair all week on the 4H time frame and this has been a good trade. On the daily, we have no broken through the Kumo to the south and this could potentially see a larger downward move. The smaller time frames show that prices are creeping back up (I think) to re-test this area of the Kumo (0.9321 to 0.9340 area) and trend line above. If you are not already short this pair then an entry could be achieved near the bottom edge of the kumo (with a stop just the other side) for a low risk entry. I'd suggest waiting until NFP data is out of the way. This will be invalidated if price hangs around in the Kumo and Chikou (currently on the trend line) fails to break the kumo.
General Market Outlook - June 21st, 2014Note: I got rid of NZD/USD and USD/CHF. NZD/USD pretty much correlates with AUD/USD while USD/CHF correlates with EUR/USD, so I figured it was redundant to analyze both pairs.
-------------------------------------------------
Interesting Pairs:
AUD/USD - Bearish
- Price tested the broken trend line last week and bounced down
- Price retested the same price level this week and started to bounce down
- Personally, I wouldn't short now because it would effectively be chasing. It dropped about 50 pips so far, so you would need a wide stop to enter this trade now.
- Maybe if it retraced to 0.94, I would consider it but AUD/USD isn't high on my "to trade" list right now.
GBP/USD - Bearish
- Although not a perfect butterfly (aka bearish gartley), price did bounce off the 161.8% fib level this week around 1.705X
- Since price closed above the 1.7000 level on Friday, I expect bulls to have another push towards 1.705X or even 1.71.
- So if you missed the entry at 1.705X (like I did), don't worry, you 'should' get another chance
- Although the level of interest is at 1.705X, I'd prefer loading the majority of my short position closer to the 1.71 level if we get there.
USD/CAD - Bullish
- Price broke out of the descending triangle on Friday (magenta) but this bear run looks exhausted, USD/CAD has been dropping for most of the last 3 weeks already.
- Currently price is sitting at the 1.075X level, which happens to be where the (blue) trend line is, so loading a few longs here wouldn't be a bad idea.
- However, the level that I'm interested in is the 1.07 level, which is where the (red) trend line intersects with a previously broken resistance level.
XAG/USD - Bearish
- Price broke the blue descending trend line this week and surged upwards but until we break 21, I have doubts about this bull run.
- Take a look at the red descending trend line, price fell around $23 the first time and $22 the second time, what are the odds the price will fall around $21 this time?
- Each time price has dropped in the past, it went all the way down to the support level at $18.6X.
- I'm not saying it's going to drop back down to support again this time but at the very least, I expect a retrace back down to the $20 level to test the broken trend line. After that, who knows?
-------------------------------------------------
Developing Pairs:
USD/JPY - Waiting for breakout
- The only thing that I can see right now is a symmetrical triangle, which is a neutral pattern formation until it breaks out
- So until it does, I'm sitting on the sidelines for this pair
-------------------------------------------------
Confusing Pairs:
EUR/USD - Conflicting short and long term views
Long term - I see a potential bearish flag on the chart, which signals continuation drop is coming?
Short term - A retrace wouldn't be out of the question for a healthy bear run but it would have to break the bear flag in order to do so, which conflicts with the long term view. Also, price never hit 1.4000 so that's a bull target that was never reached.
-------------------------------------------------
Disclosure: All open positions are disclosed above, if I don't mention having one then it should be assumed at all times that I plan to trade based on my analysis, so take this into consideration as I may be biased.
AUD/USD bounce off of major supportCurreny pair bounced off of major support level that is in tact since beginnig of April. Also, it was bottom of bull flag.
As it broke up intermidiate resistance level it caught some follow through.
I am bullish and will be watching for buying opportunities on 50% pullback close to 8/21 EMA or if it will go through 0.93118 it may attract more active swing traders.
My road map (target) is right to 0.94600.
