NZDJPY: Testing Key Support - Will It Bounce?
Trendlines are a fundamental concept in technical analysis, used to identify and confirm the direction of a trend. They are drawn by connecting a series of price points to highlight the prevailing direction of the market, whether it be upward, downward, or sideways.
A trendline acting as support is a line drawn below the price action, connecting two or more significant low points. When the price approaches this trendline, it often finds buying interest and 'bounces' off it, resuming its upward trajectory. Conversely, a trendline acting as resistance is drawn above the price action, connecting significant high points. When the price approaches this trendline, it often encounters selling pressure and 'bounces' downward.
Currently, NZDJPY is trading near a trendline that has previously acted as a robust support level. Historically, this trendline has successfully caused the price to bounce upwards when touched. Given this historical behavior, there is a strong possibility that the trendline will once again act as a support level, causing the price to bounce back up.
A confirmed bounce could present a buying opportunity, while a break below the trendline might indicate a shift in market sentiment and a potential trend reversal.

Key Points to Watch:
- Trendline Support: Observe the price action near the trendline. A bounce off this line would reaffirm its role as support.
- Volume Confirmation: Increased trading volume on the bounce can provide additional confirmation of the support level's strength.
- Candlestick Patterns: Look for bullish reversal patterns (e.g., hammer, bullish engulfing) near the trendline, which can signal a potential upward movement. It's important to monitor the closing of today's candlestick; a bullish reversal candle would be a strong indicator of a potential bounce.
- Stop-Loss Placement: Consider placing stop-loss orders just below the trendline to manage risk in case of a breakdown. In this analysis, stop-loss placements are marked with a red line labeled "SL."
