LAST GASP AUSSIE RALLY AHEAD OF SHARP DECLINE

The Aussie-Dollar pair has definitely been testing the patience of traders over the last few weeks, with an extended period of Consolidation above the most recent Uptrend Line. This period of market indecision could either be a setup to resume the current uptrend, or lead to the break of the Uptrend Line to start a downtrend. With the Monthly Range of this pair having been hit (see Trade Manual) and the possible formation of an even larger Pennant taking place, a bearish reversal looks to be the more likely outcome for the rest of 2014.

Both a Pennant and a Small Range have now been formed as the pair slowly drifts sideways below the Uptrend Line. The rally between 1 and 2 and then between 3 and 4 represented the 2 Weekly Ranges that completed the Monthly Range. As with all currency pairs, strong periods of Consolidation are normally formed ahead of either a resumption of the trend or that start of an opposing one.



DAILY CHART - CONSOLIDATION


One reason to support a bearish bias is the fact that we were in a large downtrend that formed with the breakout from a Pennant in 2013. Previous trends can still continue even when the Trend Line has been broken.


DAILY CHART- BROKEN PENNANT
















A 2nd reason to expect the depreciation of the Aussie currency is that there have been 3 successive waves of Uptrends and Downtrends that are usually indicative of a large Consolidation setup being formed. The bearish breakout below this Uptrend Line would be the fourth wave and the one that would create the 2nd Resistance point of the Pennant.


 DAILY CHART - NEW PENNANT?




Finally, the break of this Uptrend Line is likely to take place based on one of the peculiar aspects of the currency market. Sometimes when there is about to be a trend change, the market will make a last gasp new high or low that changes the angle of the existing Trend Line. When this happens, the market will then break this line to start the new trend.



DAILY CHART- PREVIOUS TREND LINE















The previous Uptrend Line was formed by connecting the S1 and S2 Support points, but when the new high was formed, the 2nd connecting Support point changed to the one below the Pennant.


 DAILY CHART - NEW HIGH & TREND LINE















Several other examples of this can be found across all time frames and with all currency pairs.


DAILY CHART - EURO USD
















 4 HOUR CHART- USD CAD
















15 MINUTE CHART - NZD CHF
















These types of Trend Line changes may be thought of as mere coincidences, but the frequency with which they occur makes this unlikely. Traders can use this knowledge to anticipate a trend change especially if the existing trend has had a very long run followed by a period of Consolidation.

The fact that several of the most popular and liquid currency pairs have also been in Consolidation supports the bearish scenario for the Aussie Dollar. Trends have been few and far between in an environment of low volatility and minimal interest rate differentials. Therefore, identifying and knowing how to trade these setups will allow traders to continue to make money.

STRATEGY NOW UP BY 23.78% WITH RECENT 2.00% USD CHF TRADE

Image
This trade involved trading the False Breakout Reversal Setup that was taking place on the Daily and 4 Hour Charts last week, amidst the period of risk aversion across markets in reaction to the on going Coronavirus outbreak. This quick and aggressive trade took just 4 Hours in providing me with a 2.00% Rate of Return, just ahead of the Bullish Reversal that took place at Support. With this result, the new strategy is now up by 23.78% from just 14 trades, pushing me closer to the next major target of a 30% Rate of Return. As long as we carefully and patiently wait to only trade the setups with a High Probability of Success, large Rates of Return are possible for us in this difficult market.  VIDEO HIGHLIGHT OF THE USD CHF TRADE The main factors related to this trade that you'll seen in the Manual and in the more detailed Video Analysis available only to my subscribers were: 1. Accurately Identifying Consolidation

GBP CAD PROVIDES A 140-PIP TRADING GAIN FROM FALSE CONSOLIDATION BREAKOUT REVERSAL

Image
This successful trade took advantage of the sharp False Breakout Reversal from the Pennant Consolidation on the Daily Chart that started on December 3, 2015. As with all of these types of setups, the initial breakout attempt was quickly taken out by a strong, opposing signal that led to a breakout at the other end of the Consolidation. Given that this setup was in sync with the theory of False Breakouts that is outlined on Page 54 of the Trading Manual, the trade provided a strong gain of 140 Pips. The graph below shows one of the examples of False Breakouts that are explained in detail in the Manual. FALSE BREAKOUT SETUPS As you can see from the Daily Chart of the GBP CAD below, the setup was almost exactly the same as the one above.  DAILY CHART FALSE BREAKOUT PENNANT SETUP (FXCM Charts used to provide Entry Signals based on the New York Candle Close of the Daily Chart) Following the Bear Candle that attempted a breakout at Support, the bulls
