Maybe AUDUSD can rally even while DXY is moving up...I think it's possible that Trump's border wall could boost iron ore prices indirectly, thus giving AUDUSD the push it needs to detach from the now 11 month mode at 0.75248. If we don't retest this level during February, we could expect a sharp rally towards 0.82787 in the long term.
Sentiment is extremely negative for AUDUSD, which doesn't make any sense, given the relative strength in this pair, and the current daily uptrend, as well as the bullish signals in multiple timeframes, copper's strength, the relentless iron/steel rally, and Australia's fundamentals, both regarding GDP growth, as well as rate differential against other currencies, weighing in political risk, and also demographics. It's a bit hard to justify shorting it, so, let's try going long once more.
The daily offers a tight stop at 0.75827, but if you want, you can just use the monthly stop at 0.75248 for now.
Good luck,
Ivan Labrie.
PS: As a reminder, I'll attach the monthly copper chart, I think the lag in AUD against iron ore and copper can resolve in a violent breakout in this currency pair, effectively closing the spread with these commodities they export.
