The movetook out September’s swing bottom hinting that the longer-term down trend is back in play. Prices’ inability to break back above former support on multiple retests bolsters the case for a downside scenario. From here a daily close below the 50% Fibonacci expansion at 0.6758 opens the door for a challenge of the 61.8% level at 0.6609. Alternatively a reversal back above support-turned-resistance at 0.6906 the 38.2% Fib paves the way for a retest of the November 10 low at 0.7016. We entered short AUD/USD at 0.6900 initially targeting 0.6758. A stop-loss is set to trigger on a daily close above 0.6950. We will book half of the trade and adjust the stop-loss to the breakeven level when prices touch the first target. Losing Money Trading Forex? This Might Be Why.
