An interesting Triad showing a contrarian signal? GBP/AUD/USD

Looking at Triads is interesting but difficult.  It is easy to get knocked out of a good set up in one pair because you can't see how all 3 fit together.

 

Looking at GBP/USD (see separate post for more detail) I see the start of a contrarian turn into a Wave C of a larger retrace that could head back up to the post Brexit price gap resistance level at a minimum (maybe higher).

 

Looking at GBP/AUD I see a similar set up to GBPUSD with a turn back up in retrace but this time it would be a complete retrace rather than just a Wave C and again could make it all the wave back up to the post Brexit price gap.

 

In order for GBP/AUD to make such a strong move AUD/USD really needs to drop and so far it has been looking like it will rally up to the Weekly down-sloping tramline and Fib 50% (of course the junction of these two is now past...).  However with a possible up-sloping tramline break and RSI/Stochastic looking bearish we could see a drop on this market.  With Non Commercials COT increasingly Bullish but not over cooked this pair is my least strong so I would need to see a confirmed break lower for this Triad set up to work.

 

I would love to hear if anyone else is looking at this Triad and especially thoughts on AUDUSD.

All I know roughly about currency triads, is that if you have €-£  €-$ & £-$ you will get similar trends with different driving forces. However I do see the AUD$ possibly starting soon the final WC of C within  the ABC that has been occurring since February. Although I think my 4hourly chart has a slight different layout to yours in that I think that the overall wave C is a complex double zigzag. , I do however think we are on similar guidelines. The Weekly T-LINE is what be interesting to watch, once it hits it then downside will really prevail, hopefully.AUD USD DAILY.png

Yeah that is my only worry on AUDUSD,  that the A-B-C retrace is not yet completed.  My Shorts are at B/E so free bet and I wouldn't be interested in a Long from here so worst case I get stopped out for no loss and wait in the tall grass for that A-B-C to conclude, probably at the Fib 50% (weekly/Monthly chart).  It is still possible for GBPAUS to rally with AUDUSD also rallying if GBPUSD rallies harder.  Next week should give some indications.  If AUDUSD doesn't rally then the drop is on.  I would say that a fall below the 7600 and then through 7580 is indicative that my first scenario is more likely.  A strong rally back up through the Daily up-sloping tramline is indicative that the A-B-C has yet to conclude.

    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
