EURAUD
Today the EURAUD has formed a daily close and Kumo Break (to the topside) for the first time in exactly two months Virtually all Ichimoku components are bullish with the chikou having crossed the price line, tenkan above the kijun, the kumo break, thus the only things left are for the tenkan and kijun to pierce through the kumo along with the chikou as well.
Regardless, this bull run for the EUR v. AUD is impressive to say the least, as it has climbed 15 of its last 18 days all the while staying within a tight channel, so the climax hasn't come yet.
At the moment, price is sitting at a key role reversal level just under 1.2400 (June swing low). With a flat top kumo parked just below current levels, bulls can take a pullback towards here (1.2236), or wait for a breakout pullback setup above 1.2400.

Comment by 2ndSkiesForex on September 7, 2012 at 10:43am Hello Gill,
With the right qualifiers, you can use a 1hr time frame that works well, but it takes some specific variables to really filter out the highly probable ones.
But 4hr and daily will be much more sable.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Chris
