Weekly Chart 03-16-2007

There are a number of ways to interpret the longer term wave structure of the AUDUSD.  The above chart shows the preferred count with the pair working higher in a 5th wave that will complete a long term 5 wave bullish sequence (that began in 2001).  The corrective 4th wave was a triangle (shown with subwaves A-B-C-D-E). The thin line is being tested for the 4th time a break may very well see a rapid run up in the Aussie.         

Daily Chart 03-16-2007

This is a close up of the larger 5th wave rally that began in June 2006 at .7270.  The rally is in its latter stages, currently tracing out wave 5 of 5.  A break above .7982 would confirm that the 5th of the 5th was underway and that the pair is headed to measured objectives that lie near .8100-.8200.  Wave 1 (of 5) would equal wave 5 (of 5) at .8128.

240 Minute Chart 03-16-2007 

The short term Fibonacci levels are support at from .7898-.7939.  In order to keep the bullish bias intact, the pair needs to remain above .7877.  The momentum extreme with RSI indicates that another leg up is in order.  Rarely does a market reverse without making a divergence with momentum oscillators.
