Aussie

Reviewing my previous post, that missed entry will be remembered.  I should not commit previous mistakes and this blog is going to help me with this.   By now the aussie is far away in the sky and I don't see a strong reason for a reversal.  Right now is just testing its previous high, which is the 2008 high at 0.9849, which coincide to be the high of all times, or at least within twenty years of data that I have.

That high has been broken in today's trading bar, reaching 0.9917.   That tells me basically two things... price will go higher but has some resistances to overcome first.  Second, a retracement is more than likely to occur soon.   If price makes a breakout of its previous high, the next obvious resistance would be the 1.000 which is relatively close to price action.  The retracement should occur eventually and a possible retest of its previous resistance zone, transformed now in support, around 0.9400 (0.9380/0.9420). A trade could be trigger here with a first target at 1.000 and a second target just as far as price wants to go through a trailing stop.  Right now stochastics is overbought and the possible retracement could follow.


The daily presents more data to analyze.  The trend is clearly up so why I would like to trade against it?  A correct move would be wait for a retracement and go long with the flow.  Today's bar is not closed yet but is showing a reversal candle. I've drawn an upward trend channel which has broken to the upside; I also have drawn a regression channel which is still valid.  A break to the downside would mean the start of the retracement and a possible test of the lower line of the channel which coincides with a previous resistance zone.  We can see there tuesday's candle with a long lower shadow, which seemed to me by that day, a possible break but resulted in a false break out.  Price is really close to my extensions between 0.9926/50 where I was expecting to see the retracement, but because the regression channel is holding, that zone might be reached.  Because 1.000 is really close, I would not be surprised if price spikes that high before the decline. Stochastics is overbought and there's divergence on MACD.
