QUICK ANALYSIS: AUDUSD: Waiting wave (B) To Finish. Then What?

FX:AUDUSD   Australian Dollar / U.S. Dollar
So after hitting for +374 pips on the last trade I made on this pair, the question now becomes: What next? So here I am showing what I am seeing as the next possible move which would be a wave (C) up to complete the wave (4). Then we should see a significant wave (5) down.

I'm thinking that the wave (B) should end just around he 70 cents level where there is a AB=CD pattern in the wave (B) at 0.70038. I remember there was a guy who doubted me when I said that this pair would retest the 69-70 cents level and asked me why I was so sure it would do so? Well, I sincerely hope he didn't lose too much money doubting me!

Anyway, what I am seeing is that this wave (4) is going to unfold in an ABC 5-3-5 Zigzag pattern with wave (A) already unfolded in 5 waves and now wave (B) in 3 waves. That would mean we should expect that wave (C) will be a 5 wave move. So should be looking for wave 1 next.

ABOUT THE PATTERNS
After hitting on that nice downtrend off the cypher #1 (green), that leaves cypher #2 still intact and valid. After wave (B) ends, that ending will become a C point for a POTENTIAL bearish Gartley. Now here's where some people may disagree or be confused about this Gartley. Gartley's as you may know, have a B point at .618. If you look at the B point of the Gartley on the 4HR chart, you'll see that the B point has CLOSED above the .618 retrace of XA. HUH? Then why is it a Gartley you might ask? If you go to the DAILY CHART as I show below, you will see that the B point DOES NOT close above .618 retrace of XA! Sure, it does have a wick that goes above the .618 but that wick does not reach the next pattern fib level of .786 to be considered a butterfly. This is why for me, this is a valid Gartley. You could also make the case that it should be considered a crab and you would not be wrong. But in this case, I am calling it a Gartley because it fits into my overall wave count whereas a crab would violate my wave count. It's D point would have the ending of wave (4) in the price territory of wave (1) and that would break my wave count.

Another thing to note is that Gartley completes right near the .382 retrace of the entire previous impulse wave down. Confluece.

MY TRADE PLAN
I am waiting for the wave (B) to finish. When it does, I will be going LONG on this pair again.
