Short Trade Ideas
Go short following bearish price action on the H1 time frame immediately upon the next touch of 0.5962 or 0.6094.
Place the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.
Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.
Take off 50% of the position as profit when the trade is 20 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to run.
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 the price was close to breaking 11-year lows and falling to new multi-decade lows. “Blue sky” doesn’t even begin to describe this.
I thought that trading this pair short looked like a great idea right now, while monitoring carefully on short time frames and respecting the relatively high volatility level.
This was a great call, as the price has continued to fall dramatically and reach new 17-year lows.
I am extremely bearish below 0.5962 and I would also take a short trade if the price reached the next higher resistance level at 0.6094.There is nothing of high importance scheduled today regarding the USD.
Concerning the AUD, there will be a release of Employment Change and Unemployment Rate data at 12:30am London time.
