TRADE: AUDUSD: BUY@.72145 Wave Count

First, congrats to all who took the SHORT trade from the Gartley completion. I did not manage to get that trade since I had been waiting for bearish PA which never came. Instead, this pair decided to drop straight down! Drats! I missed out on a good trade but that happens sometimes. No big deal. Always another good trade right around the corner. Llke this one.

This is a "quick" LONG trade as prices need to retrace that nice drop now before making another drop to finish off this wave 4 retracement. Then it will be free to make a MUCH bigger move up in a wave 5. But first things first. This move up I am not expecting to be very large. Only abut 70-90 pips move. Then I am expecting another leg down to complete and ABC pattern and possibly an AB=CD pattern as well. Should prices move as I am expecting, then there is also a POSSIBILITY of a butterfly pattern that would form. Too early to say for sure but will just need to wait and watch.

Here's the overview of what I am expecting:

MY TRADE PLAN
I am LONG on this pair but only up to about +70 pips or so of movement. I'll be looking to take profit at the 50% retracement point of the previous leg down. Stops go below the end of that leg down.where i have marked the end of wave (c) since if prices were to drop below there, then likely the move down is continuing.
