AUDUSD falls to swing area low target ahead of the extreme low from last week. What next?

The AUDUSD has moved lower to a swing area low at 0.65357. The high of the swing area comes in at 0.65537. It would take a move above that level and then the 61.8% at 0.6575, to give the buyers more confidence and cause the sellers to have some cause for pause.

ON the downside, a break of 0.6535 would target the low from last weekend 0.6511. That is near the last two session lows going back to early August. oh below that level and traders look toward 0.6463 to 0.6486.

The price action last week in the AUDUSD was up and down with big moves in either direction.Through the first two days of this week, volatility is less, but the bias is more to the downside. That bias would be even more bearish if the 0.6535 level can be broken along with the low price from last week at 0.6511.

------------------------------------

AUD/USD Summary

The AUD/USD fell to a swing area low at 0.65357.

Key Points:

  1. Swing area: 0.65357 (low) - 0.65537 (high).

  2. Buyers need a break above 0.65537 and 0.6575 (61.8% level).

  3. Sellers target last weekend's low: 0.6511.

Outlook:

Bullish Scenario

Move above 0.65537 and 0.6575 boosts buyer confidence.

Bearish Scenario

Break below 0.6535 and 0.6511 confirms bearish bias, targeting 0.6463-0.6486.

Levels to Watch:

  • Resistance: 0.65537, 0.6575

  • Support: 0.65357, 0.6511, 0.6463-0.6486

Viral Video Class Project (Update)

Last year I had this crazy idea -

Creating Viral Videos (A Classroom Project)


Well we did it and the kids absolutely loved it! I think it was their favorite part of the year. I have had kids asking me all year "Mr. G are we doing the viral video thing again this year?" And yes we are. I am going to tweak a couple things and give better expectations but overall I will stand behind the original idea of I am staying out of the way and let the kids creative sides come out.


Here is the video that got the most views during our allotted time frime, thus the winner. Though now there are videos that actually have more views. This is the same two kids who inspired the project, pretty cool.


If the contest ended today this video would have actually won. And the likes won for sure.



This one did really well and was one of my favorites. The video quality could be an actual music video.



This girl wrote her own original song.



This is a fun one where they went to a mall and interacted with the workers.

Class Facebook Page (Update)

Image via CrunchBase

A year ago I wrote a post about creating a Class Facebook Page. After a few tweaks I think I found the Facebook setup that works for me.

I have set up a general Facebook Page for all the choirs that anyone can like and follow for general announcements. Also a good way for alumni to stay connected and a means for free performance advertisement.

Where the real success has been is with Private Group Pages for  my individual performance groups. I have found through these private groups I get the protection from out siders posting stuff I don't approve of and also I get to communicate directly with just my ensembles outside of school time. Granted not all of my students have a Facebook but I would say at least 90% do and have all accepted an invitation to be a part of this group.

You can set up your own groups here: https://www.facebook.com/about/groups/
