Almost a month ago I highlighted that the Australian Dollar was breaking out of a multi-month sideways trading range.  You know my boring ole strategy by now …”Buy the breakouts!” (see post here)  Below is a look back over the past month, comparing the Australian Dollar ETF (FXA) to the S&P 500.

Since the suggestion to buy FXA, it has been a good 30-days.  This gain reflects the the “Power of the Pattern” per a breakout of a 5-month sideways channel!  This strong of a gain could very well be suggesting the U.S. $ will continue to struggle!

Game Plan…Remain an owner of FXA with a 3% stop.
