AUDUSD - Dollar Wrecking Ball Part Deux Short

Australian Dollar/U.S. DollarFXCM

Description

AUDUSD getting smashed here with a return to the dominant trend in tandem with bearish stock indexes.

Not posted on AUD for a little while but here is some of my work so far.

I shorted both these highlighted long wicked stars.

For the first star I had an alarmed stop above the top and entered at the close looking for a good long term position for reversal and resusmption of the dominant trend to the downside.

For the first star I exited my position for a small loss but that was fine because by the time the next star printed the trend was over extended and provided an excellent entry again - entering at the close, alarmed stop above the top.

There were plenty of other factors that added confluence to make this an entry with confidence:

  • The star peaked within the common inverted phi 0.618 fakeout reversal zone which in FX tends to stretch up to 0.7 On this occasion it topped at 0.682

  • The 3 wave from the lows projected an equidistant 1:1 projection of which the star formed a fakeout reversal through with upper wick piercing.

  • The last wave up pierced through "distribution resistance" and also the 2 trendlines - so there were a multutude of fakeouts here all adding confluence for a sharp reversal.

  • Hidden RSI divergence between the 2 peaks showing momentum decline.


This entire bottom is most likely a higher time frame domed retracement from the top that should at the very least see a 1:1 equidistant extension down to 0.66664.



Not advice.

Comment

Closed position at 1:1 which has formed a wicked shakeout reversal. 4H RSI hit 18 and so good chance a bounce is coming.

Comment

Bearish breakdown pattern at the 0.236 is very weak and should mean another (hopefully devastating) leg down is coming. I have re-entered short with stop above the top.

Agreed on AUD weakness, Chinese lockdown should be really heavy on this currency.
