UPDATE #3: UPDATING 2 LONG trades: Looking for TP2 (+660 pips)

Long
FX:AUDUSD   Australian Dollar / U.S. Dollar
So this pair has just decided to keep going up and up and up.....and continue giving me profits now to the tune of +660 pips. This is why I only closed half of my positions on each of the 2 LONG trades and let the other half run. Because you just never know what will happen.

In my last update on this pair and the 2 LONG trades, I had closed half the positions on each thinking that there could be a deeper retrace on the wave (iv) of 3. It didn't work out that way and it was only a shallow and short retrace before prices decided to resume their relentless track north. So what I see happening now is that the wave (v) of 3 is now forming and may have just finished the wave iii within that wave (v) of 3. That means a probable brief wave iv and then up again to finish the impulse wave 3. I have that point as the completion of the large cypher #2 pattern overhead as the possible finish to that wave 3. Just keep an eye on prices IF/When they get there as there is also a larger Gartley (seen on the DAILY chart) overhead and not far from where the cypher #2 would complete. If prices march past the cypher #2 completion, I'll be looking at the Gartley completion for a possible reversal.

In addition, I have drawn in a POSSIBLE cypher with it's MAX C point just a little past the cypher #2 completion point. So if prices do make it there and doesn't break the green cypher's MAX C point, then this cypher will also be in play.

If you're thinking about selling now, if it were me, I'd hold off. Yes, this pair looks primed for a fall. Yes, there is now divergence. Yes, the RSI is in overbought mode, etc.,etc. But I don't see momentum changing just yet. And no bearish PA. And also, I don't see 5 waves yet in this last wave (v) of the wave 3 just yet. So for me, this isn't the finish of this uptrend just yet. Selling now would require to withstand some pain as prices move higher, IMHO.

MY TRADE PLAN
For now, I will be letting the 2 LONG trades ride up to the completion of the cypher #2 and that will be my TP2 for both these trades and likely that I will close both of them there. Once prices do get there, I'll be watching the PA intently for signs to SELL and try to get SHORT. I am also now adding a trailing stop to both LONG trades of 60 pips to each trade (approx. 20% of each trades profits).
