Australian Dollar Crosses Failing at Resistance

-AUDCHF between 50% and 61.8% retracements
-AUDCAD drops below channel support
-AUDNZD towards 1.2350

Australian Dollar / Swiss Franc

The rally from .6926 is corrective and in its latter stages. Triangles often occur as B waves and the thrust from the triangle in wave C completes the corrective pattern. Having reached the 50% of the decline from 1.0091, the next potential resistance would be the 61.8% at .8882.

Australian Dollar / Canadian Dollar


The AUDCAD has completed 5 waves up from .7719. The rally from there may complete an A-B-C advance from the 2008 low. RSI divergence at the high also favors a top.

Australian Dollar / New Zealand Dollar

The AUDNZD is testing 1.30 for the third time since summer 2008. Triple tops rarely occur. If price trades to a level for a third time, it typically does so because it wants to break that level. As such, I favor a breakout strategy against 1.2009. Near term, a drop below 1.2549 would complete a 2nd wave correction.
