The US dollar faced massive volatility on Friday and the AUD/USD pair dropped sharply on way lower than expected Australian Home loans and Chinese CPI which came in red as well.

As AUDUSD drops within upward channel, it is still supported by and upward moving Ichimoku cloud. The main pivot level falls in the middle of the Ichimoku cloud at 23% Fibonacci level at 0.7450. Upper resistance level is set at 38% Fibonacci at 0.78.

This means that even a break below a channel wouldn’t be strong enough to change our long-term outlook to bearish, and even may be a good time to go bullish on AUD/USD at the lower pivot.

Trading Strategy

Bullish Scenario

Look for a bullish reversal signal at the lower pivot or if the pair fails to break the Ichimoku cloud. Target 0.78 and 0.8150 in extension depending on your risk tolerance.

The long term bullish resistance level is set at 0.8450.

Bearish Scenario

A break below the Ichimoku cloud could change our outlook to bearish. Targets are set at 0.7250 and 0.6950.

Economic Calendar

Monday

We are certainly expecting a more quiet day today as we don’t have major marketing moving evens on the calendar. During the New York session we are expecting the 3 and 6 month bill Auctions 3:30 PM GMT. Investors monitor the yield volatility and compare the average rate at auction to the rate at previous auctions of the same security as an indicator of the government debt situation., which could ultimately impact the USD strength.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

January 2, 2026 No Comments

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

December 12, 2025 No Comments

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
