A bullish pattern is currently forming on the AUD/JPY 2hr Chart. There are multiple reasons that we are looking for support at 80.00. First, the pattern would fulfill the criteria needed for a bullish Gartley pattern due to support at 78.6% of 01, 161.8% of AB, and 1A=BC. The trade idea would also enter at a round number (80), which could create a little extra support. The trade is invalidated if the pair rallies to 81.82 before reaching the entry.

The pattern suggests buying the AUD/JPY if it drops to 80.. (Point D). In summary, point D is located at the convergence of the following points:

  • 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of 01.
  • 161.8% Fibonacci extension of AB.
  • ABC pattern.
  • To recap, the pattern suggests buying the AUD/JPY at 80.00 with our stop placed at 79.62. Our initial profit target is 80.58 (38.2% of BC).


    2hr Chart - Buy AUD/JPY at 80.00.
