    It’s fabulous for aussie mining stocks that sell their products based on USD contracted pricing but have an AUD cost base.

    I guess if we look at historical data, what is the norm for AUD - 75??

    So what drives AUD down??

    Its a roller coaster ride... I am still betting it will hit 65, Jury is out

    Since year 2000 AUD has gone 50c to over $1.
    Wild swings in between.
    Im counting on nothing changing in that regard.

    What drives AUD down?
    Its small and can be pushed around wherever one likes. Good luck trying to pick a trend without getting bitten.

    Iron ore prices is the biggest driver of AUD. And to a smaller extent coal prices and the usual GDP growth and employment numbers and rba rates

    Support of AUD on a macro chart is about 65c from Nov 2008.

    From a technical analysis perspective I was very bullish on the AUS$. It was forming a nice contracting triangle (A) - (B) - (C) - (D) - (E) confined by the shown trend lines. It then broke the lower trend line (area marked by ellipse). The contracting triangle may still hold because point (C) can be moved to where point B is. If the AUS$ falls below 0.6006 (i.e. the low at (A)) that will negate the revised pattern. You can also see how significant falls in $AUS have correlated with changes of PM.

    Its trending sideways, already gone south from 2011-2015 from whence it rose again until this time last year, then fell back to 2015 levels and now going sideways.

    I would go so far as to say its been trending sideways since the low of 2015-16 with a double bottom formed in almost exactly 3 years timeframe.

    With BHP about to pay out big special dividend, I'm hoping the AUD will go lower for that time!

    What do you mean by "overall" ?
    The AUD goes up down and sideways overall.
    Currently its going sideways after a major downtrend has been completed look at the chart.
    It all depends on the timeframe you are looking at. I thought you'd know this sort of stuff?

    It could go either way from here. That can be said at anytime of course.

    @MTR thinking of selling a few in the US are you ? seeing AUD down to 65 would help

    If you are looking at anything short of 10 years on a long-term currency chart you aren't doing yourself any favours, you might as well trade FX.

    @kitdoctor has it right - a double bottom is in. A break down further could be the inverse of a typical FX trade where a higher low and a lower high is an incoming short signal, the opposite (a lower low and a higher high) is a incoming long signal.

    If you see that "B" pattern, you have a 6 week long signal ahead of you (which we do an are in now). When you see the "D", you have a 6 week short, and then "E" eventuates, go long until you trade out.
