If 1.0823 holds, then the count in black is valid. That count indicates that the AUDCHF is in wave C of a large correction that will eventually come under .8882. However, with price so close to breaching 1.0823, we are presenting the alternate (in red); which suggests that the advance from .8882 is wave B of a triangle.

The rally from .8271 is roughly equal to the .8119-.9514 advance and the rally stalled at the 61.8% of the 1.0546.8119 decline. These measurements bring to the forefront the possibility that a large triangle is unfolding since the April 2001 low. In a triangle, the next leg would be lower in wave D towards .88 or so. The alternate count treats the advance from .8819 and subsequent decline as waves 1 and 2 in a bull cycle. We favor the triangle scenario given the unmistakable 3 wave movements and Fibonacci measurements.

AUDNZD Daily Bars

Expect the AUDNZD to complete the small 4th wave near the 38.2% of 1.1331-1.2413 at 1.20. This level is former congestion. It is also possible that a triangle is unfolding from the wave iii top (1.2412). Either way, sideways / downward on balance action is expected for the next few weeks.
