AUD/USD Reward and Risk Assessment for Bullish Swing
dtu_030410_audusd
  • Daily: The Daily time frame shows a confluence of 2 swing projections and the 78.6% retracement level near the 92.0 area, and this has been established in recent posts as the target for the current intermediate term rally. We are now in a second swing that started at 0.88.
  • 4H: The 4H time-frame shows a short-term retracement, so far to the 38.6%. The next support if this breaks is the 0.8940 area, which is 50% retracement. We will also see that this is a swing projection of the first leg of the current decline.
  • 1H: The screenshot below shows the reward and risk assessment for 2 scenarios. The first is that the current retracement decline continues to the 0.8940 area. Then if a bullish signal closes near 0.8960, we have a reward to risk ratio of 2.66:1. (assuming target is 92.00, and stop-loss is calculated by 3ATR below powerline.)
  • If however the market does not decline further and is supported above the 0.8970 (38.6% retracement) level, the reward to risk ratio is 2.11:1.
