Momentum Divergence in the Aussie Dollar, and a textbook set-upThese trade ideas I learned from watching Linda Raschkes work, and playing with the concepts my self. I want to get better at spotting these set-ups in the wild as opposed to cherry picking them after the fact. If you are looking to learn more about the concepts I discuss in this video, I recommend you find Linda's youtube channel, and study her library of videos,.I have picked up little nuances on these concepts from each one. Specifically, her videos on momentum oscillators, taylor trading, and acclerating your evolution as a trader cover the nuts and bolts of what I discuss here. I also think her book Street Smarts is a must read if you do decide that this style of trading is interesting to you.

Aussie Dollar - Don't Worry Be Hoppy!China re-opening, widening trade surplus, and a fragile USD to keep Australian Dollar bouncing higher ("AUD") in 2023. The Dollar Index (“DXY”) is sinking through support levels even as the AUD rises past key resistance points. Amid solid tailwinds favoring AUD and formidable headwinds facing the USD, this case study argues for a long position in CME Micro AUD/USD Futures expiring in March 2023. Thus far, the AUD is 2023's top-performing currency. It appears to have raced ahead of itself with near-term consolidation expected before resuming its ascent. Hence, an entry at 0.695 with a target of 0.736 and a stop-loss at 0.668 will deliver a reward-to-risk ratio of 1.52. WHAT DRIVES THE VALUE OF A CURRENCY? Supply and demand for a currency establishes its value. Monetary policy also has an impact on its value. Currencies with high domestic interest rates appreciate while those with lower rates get weaker. Nations enjoying greater trade surplus command a stronger currency. Currencies in high demand for savings, trade settlement, tourism, and education also appreciate. AUD, as a commodity currency, enjoys multiple tailwinds, making it resilient going into 2023. Economic re-opening in China after a shift away from zero-covid stance is expected to increase demand for commodities. Easing political relations saw China secure its first Australian coal cargos in two years. Bullish commodity prices will boost AUD. Australia's trade surplus widened to $13.2B in November when it was expected to decline to $10.5B. Growing trade surplus bodes well for AUD. China re-opening and easing political relationships benefits Australia in more ways than one. Chinese travelers and students are starting to return to Australia further boosting demand for its dollar. AUSTRALIA IS A TOP COMMODITY EXPORTER MAKING AUD A COMMODITY PLAY Australia produces copious quantities of crude and three-fourths of that is exported. Australia is one of the planet’s largest exporters of iron ore and coal. Iron Ore forms the single largest source of export revenue worth AUD 133 billion in 2021-22 according to Mineral Council of Australia. Australia also exports aluminum. As seen in the chart below, correlation between CME Iron Ore Futures prices to CME Micro AUD/USD Futures is tight at upwards of 90% and tends to move in tandem. Bullish Iron Ore prices augur well for the AUD. CHINA IS AUSTRALIA’S NUMBER ONE TRADING PARTNER More than half of every commodity is imported into China. It should be no surprise that China is Australia’s top trading partner. Importing more than USD 100 billion of Australian products, China accounts for more than 30% of all Australian exports. China is the world’s largest steel producer for which Iron Ore is a key ingredient. Predictably, China accounts for 80% of Australian Iron Ore exports. China is expected to remain a key producer and consumer of steel as its One Belt One Road requires huge investments in steel-intensive projects both within and outside its borders. RBA TO REMAIN HAWKISH IN FENDING OFF DOMESTIC INFLATION Australian inflation eased to 6.9% in October 2022 but shot back up to 7.3% in November beating expectations. The Reserve Bank of Australia (“RBA”) remains hawkish in the fight against inflation as it wrestles to bring inflation down to the 2%-3% target. Economists anticipate that it might take a quarter or two before reaching “peak-inflation” in Australia. Meanwhile, RBA will keep or lift rates higher which will strengthen AUD even more. KING DOLLAR SHEDS ITS SHINE The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the US dollar’s value against a basket of six currencies comprising of Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona, and the Swiss Franc. The USD rallied strongly in 2022 while investors’ flight to safety tendency demonstrated dollar’s heft as the global reserve. However, the DXY has shed 11.2% since touching a high of 114.778 on September 28 to close at 102.204 on January 13, 2023. Slowing inflation in the US is expected to ease the Fed’s hawkish aggression towards rate hikes. This will force the dollar to further lose its value against other currencies. Anticipating this, asset managers have reduced their net long positions in the DXY by 45% over the last twelve weeks while leveraged funds continue to entrench their net short positions by 3% during the same period. TECHNICALS POINT TO AUD BULLS AND DXY BEARS On January 6, AUD pushed past the 20-day moving average it has tested since December 27. The Bollinger Bands having narrowed until then is now broadening out with the AUD breaking out to the top. With the AUD trading around the Pivot point, it is now trending up and has traded past the first key resistance on January 12. Mirroring the same trend but to the reverse, the DXY attempted to rally past the 20-day moving average, but only to fail and sink below the immediate support at 102.643. The Bollinger band having narrowed until January 6 has given way with the DXY breaking out downwards shedding more than 2% with five daily red candles in succession. A bull in AUD and a bear in USD creates a compelling backdrop for a bouncy AUD in the near term. In vindicating this sentiment, the options open interest in CME Micro AUD/USD Futures shows a put-call ratio of 0.83 pointing to bullish view among options market participants. TRADE SET-UP Each long position in CME Micro AUD/USD Futures (March 2023) provides exposure to AUD 10,000. If AUD moves by 0.0001 point, the Micro AUD/USD future moves by $1. Entry: 0.695 Target: 0.736 Stop Loss: 0.668 Reward/Risk Ratio: 1.52 Profit at Target: $410 Loss at Stop Loss: $270 MARKET DATA CME Real-time Market Data helps identify trading set-ups and express market views better.

AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR FUTURES (6A1!), H4 Potential for Bearish DropType : Bearish Momentum Resistance : 0.67660 Pivot: 0.67175 Support : 0.66485 Preferred Case: On the H4, with RSI moving along the descending trendline and price moving along the descending trendline, we have a bearish bias that price will drop to the pivot at 0.67175 where the 127.2% fibonacci extension, 100% fibonacci projection and swing low support are. Once there is downside confirmation of price breaking pivot structure, we would expect bearish momentum to carry price to 1st support at 0.66485 where the 161.8% fibonacci extension and 100% fibonacci projection are. Alternative scenario: Alternatively, price may rise to the 1st resistance at 0.67660 where the overlap resistance is. Fundamentals: There was an increase in employment rate and decrease in unemployment rate for AUD today, giving us a bullish bias for the Australian Dollar. We'll need to exercise caution for this setup because our fundamentals and technicals are not completely aligned.
