FX.co ★ AUD/USD Elliott wave count and Fibonacci levels - April 15, 2011

AUD/USD is developing potential wave 5 of medium term uptrend - colored royal blue in the chart. To confirm wave 5 break above 1.0580 is needed. On smaller timeframes this wave consists of A-B-C subwaves (colored magenta in the chart) with subwave C still developing. The targets of the upmove are Fibonacci expansions off 0.9709-1.0313-1.0204 (waves 1-2), 1.0204-1.0580-1.0389 (waves 3-4), 1.0389-1.0538-1.0457 (subwaves A-B).

Resistances:

- 1.0577 = contracted objective point (COP)
- 1.0606 = objective point (OP)
- 1.0621 = COP
- 1.0698 = expanded objective point (XOP)

If the price keeps declining the immediate supports will be Fibonacci retracements of 1.0457-1.0558, 1.0389-1.0558, 1.0204-1.0580.

Supports:

- 1.0508 = .50 retracement
- 1.0496-93 = confluence area of .618 and .382 retracements
- 1.0474 = .50 ret
- 1.0454 = .618 ret

Overbought/Oversold

Assuming that the medium term trend is up (wave of a larger degree is now up), it's preferable to look for longs when the Detrended Oscillator goes below the zero level (current prices) or gets into the oversold area (20-30 pips below the current prices - this roughly corresponds to 1.0508 Fib support).
