Last Thursday’s signals were not triggered, as none of the key levels were reached during the specified time.

Today’s AUD/USD Signals

Risk 0.50%.

Trades may only be entered between 8am New York time and 5pm Tokyo time, during the next 24-hour period.

Long Trades

  • Long entry following some bullish price action on the H1 time frame immediately upon the next touch of 0.7494 or 0.7479.

  • Place the stop loss 1 pip below the local swing low.

  • Adjust the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.

  • Remove 50% of the position as profit when the trade is 20 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to ride.

Short Trade

  • Short entry following some bearish price action on the H1 time frame immediately upon the next touch of 0.7544.

  • Place the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.

  • Adjust the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.

  • Remove 50% of the position as profit when the trade is 20 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to ride.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

AUD/USD Analysis

I wrote last Thursday that I had no directional bias and that I expected that the price action would be uncertain and congested. This was a fairly accurate reflection of what happened, but the levels actually held well when they were subsequently reached, although they were not reached soon enough. There is no change to the technical picture, which is flat, ranging, and uncertain, so I continue to take no directional bias. There may be good chances to fade the levels in this environment, but the price movement is relatively slow and choppy which could make trading this pair frustrating.

AUDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
