NZDCAD - Possible sell opportunity coming
Updated
Here we have the NZDCAD pair with a possible short opportunity. The pair has been in a downtrend on the daily timeframe, shown by the red falling trendline. The shorter-term uptrend on the 4-hour chart seems to have found resistance at the 78.6% Fib retracement, signalling that the price correction has finished and that the underlying downtrend may continue.
Another signal that supports a sell setup is the potential Head and Shoulders pattern, as shown on the chart. However, we would need a close below 0.8900 (the pattern's neckline) for the SHS pattern to confirm and for a sell position to be triggered. Once confirmed, the pattern projects a profit target of around 300-350 pips, which aligns with the 0.8600 price-level.
From a fundamental standpoint, the economy of New Zealand is showing signals of a slowdown. The latest GDP q/q came in at just 0.3%, well below the 0.6% estimate. On Tuesday, New Zealand publishes the CPI numbers which are expected to be around 0.0%. The Canadian dollar, on the other side, is well supported by the recent gain in oil prices.
