Long Trade Ideas

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

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 yesterday that I took a weakly bullish bias on this pair and that it looked as if there was more upside than downside potential, so a weakening USD could make this pair interesting later.

This was a great call as the price rose strongly following the FOMC release which weakened the USD, in fact I should have been more bullish. The price has reached multi-week new high prices, which tends to be a bullish sign.

We are seeing a bearish retracement now, but the bulls still have the upper hand. However, there are unlikely to be any clear-cut opportunities today.AUDUSDThere is nothing of high importance scheduled today concerning either the USD or the AUD.
