Aud-nzd
AUD/NZD Outlook (7 September 2022)Since the AUDNZD fell through the 1.1178 support level, price had been trading in a horizontal range 1.1125 and 1.1178. Price could continue to trade between the price levels for now.
Look for price to break the support level of 1.1125 to enter into the new range of 1.1081 and 1.1125.
However, for the AUDNZD to drop lower, the AUDUSD would have to weaken further and/or the NZDUSD strengthen significantly. And in comparing the previous analysis, the AUDNZD trading lower would most likely depend on the AUDUSD to break below the key support level to trade lower.
AUD NZD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSAUD
FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: NEUTRAL
BASELINE
Despite a decent recovery from the start of the year, the AUD gave back most of its 1Q22 gains throughout 2Q22 due to China’s continued struggles with Covid breakouts, and more recently the big slump in key commodities (Iron Ore & Coal). China’s economy is always a key focus for the AUD. While other major economies are expected to slow in 2022, China was expected to grow (with monetary and fiscal policy very stimulative), but we are yet to see the new additional stimulus measures spill over into the soft and hard data. The expected recovery, if it happens, remains a key consideration for the AUD. Our view in 1Q22 was that China’s expected recovery would be enough to keep commodities like Iron Ore supported even while other commodities push lower on global demand concerns, but the market proved us wrong on that assumption. The RBA stuck to a higher pace of tightening with a 50bsp hike in August, but it wasn’t enough to provide the AUD with upside as the bank mentioned their policy is not on a pre-determined path and also expressed growing concerns about consumers. While Iron Ore prices stays pressured and covid lockdowns in China persists, we maintain a neutral bias for the AUD.
POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES
Positive Covid developments in China (easing restrictions, more fiscal or monetary support, or stopping their covid-zero policy) could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. Any catalyst that triggers some recovery in Australia’s key commodity exports (China stimulus, lifting covid restrictions, new infrastructure projects in China, higher inflation fears) should be supportive for the AUD. With the RBA just getting started with their hiking cycle, there is scope for them to turn more aggressive, which means any overly hawkish comments or overly bullish CPI , or wage data could trigger some bullish reactions.
POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES
Negative Covid developments in China (increasing restrictions or adding new ones) could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD and remains a course of concern. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. Any catalyst that triggers more downside in Australia’s key commodity exports (additional China restrictions, demand destruction fears, and additional news on recent centralized iron ore buyers) could be negative for the AUD. Concerns about consumers & growth means the RBA have been cautious to confirm STIR market expectations. If they ‘only’ hike by 50bsp without higher terminal rate forecasts we would expect the AUD to push lower out of the meeting.
BIGGER PICTURE
The outlook for the AUD is neutral for now, but that is largely dependent on what happens to China, whether key commodities like Iron Ore and Coal can stop their recent bleeding, and how long China struggles to recover their previously expected growth trajectory. Until the covid situation improves materially, and until commodities and China’s growth stabilizes, the AUD is best suited for short-term trades in line with strong short-term sentiment. Also keep in mind that the AUD is currently the most stretched among the other majors versus the US Dollar , so AUDUSD could be considered on any decent positive catalyst. With a 50bsp fully priced, without an overly hawkish RBA policy statement the AUD looks vulnerable to more downside.
NZD
FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: NEUTRAL
BASELINE
Despite the RBNZ being one of the most hawkish central banks from 2021, it hasn’t been enough to provide any meaningful trending support for the NZD. The cyclical concerns for the global economy, alongside concerns from China regarding their struggles with their covid-zero policy as well as recent big falls in commodity prices has kept the NZD pressured. Even though the RBNZ is expecting to keep their hiking cycle intact as they proved at their August meeting, some mild economic concerns have been starting to show up in the recent data, something they alluded to in their statement as well by noting medterm downside risks for the economy. Consumer and business confidence from the start of the year has confirmed this view. Furthermore, a big focus for the RBNZ’s aggressive policy (apart from high inflation of course) has been to try and calm down a very hot housing market, and even though the fall is small we have seen YY house prices starting to cool down. These developments on the growth side are not expected to stop the RBNZ’s hiking cycle just yet, but some market participants are expecting a more dovish tone reflecting these concerns and a push back in hike expectations in the months ahead.
POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES
Positive Covid developments in China (easing restrictions, more fiscal or monetary stimulus, or letting go of the covidzero policy) could trigger bullish reactions in the NZD. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the NZD. Any catalyst that triggers some recovery in commodity markets (China stimulus, lifting covid restrictions, new infrastructure projects in China, higher inflation fears; lower growth concerns) should be supportive for the NZD. With a lot of tightening already priced for the RBNZ it would take a lot to surprise markets on the hawkish side, but with growing calls of a dovish pivot, reluctance from the RBNZ on that front could prove supportive in upcoming meetings.
POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES
Negative Covid developments in China (increasing restrictions or adding additional ones) could trigger bearish reactions in the NZD. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the NZD. Any catalyst that triggers more downside in commodity markets (additional China restrictions, demand destruction fears, further growth concerns) could weigh on the NZD. Since a lot of policy tightening has been priced into STIR markets, any negative catalysts that triggers less hawkish RBNZ expectations (faster deceleration in growth or inflation) could trigger downside for the NZD.
BIGGER PICTURE
The bigger picture outlook for the NZD is neutral for now, but that is largely dependent on what happens to China as the New Zealand economy is also very dependent on trade with China and Australia, and also dependent on whether the RNBZ sticks to their hawkish tone or pivots more dovish in the meetings ahead. Given the RBNZ’s current outlook, we would favour short-term opportunities in the NZD in line with short-term sentiment as opposed to med-term positions.
AUD/NZD Outlook (30 August 2022)The AUDNZD found strong resistance at the 1.1255 resistance level, reversing strongly to trade towards the support area formed by the 23.60% fib level and 1.1178 horizontal price level.
If the AUDNZD breaks below the 1.1178 support level, the next support level is at 1.1126 which coincides with the 50% fib level.
This move lower would most likely be driven by a weaker AUDUSD.
AUDNZD: Important Structure Breakout 🇦🇺🇳🇿
Important thing happened this night on AUDNZD pair:
the price broke and closed above a wide daily supply area.
The broken structure turned into a support now.
The next goal for buyers is the narrow area around 1.128 level.

AUD NZD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSAUD
FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: NEUTRAL
BASELINE
Despite a decent recovery from the start of the year, the AUD has struggled in the midst of underlying negative risk sentiment, China’s continued struggles with Covid breakouts, and more recently the big slump in key commodities (Iron Ore & Coal). China’s economy is always a key focus for the AUD. While all major economies are expected to slow in 2022, China is expected to recover (monetary and fiscal policy very stimulative). The expected recovery has been a key focus for our previous bullish AUD bias, which worked out well until a few weeks ago.
Our view was that China’s expected recovery would be enough to keep commodities like Iron Ore supported even while other commodities push lower on global demand concerns, but price action has proven us wrong on that assumption, with Iron Ore dropping close to 30% from the mid-June. The RBA stuck to a higher pace of tightening with a 50bsp hike on in August, but it wasn’t enough to provide the AUD with upside as the bank mentioned their policy is not on a pre-determined path and also expressed growing concerns about consumers. While Iron Ore prices stays pressured and covid lockdowns in China persists, we have a neutral bias for the AUD.
POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES
Positive Covid developments in China (easing restrictions, more fiscal or monetary stimulus, or letting go of the covidzero policy) could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. Any catalyst that triggers some recovery in Australia’s key commodity exports (China stimulus, lifting covid restrictions, new infrastructure projects in China, higher inflation fears) should be supportive for the AUD. With the RBA just getting started with their hiking cycle, there is scope for them to turn more aggressive, which means any overly hawkish triggers from their meeting this week could trigger some bullish reactions.
POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES
Negative Covid developments in China (increasing restrictions or adding new ones) could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. Any catalyst that triggers more downside in Australia’s key commodity exports (additional China restrictions, demand destruction fears, and additional news on recent centralized iron ore buyers) could be negative for the AUD. Despite CPI >6% we’ve recently heard typical stubbornly hesitant comments pushing back against aggressive tightening implied by STIRs. Thus, any overly dovish comments from the bank this week or simply failing to surprise with a bigger hike than what is priced can trigger bearish reactions in the AUD.
BIGGER PICTURE
The bigger picture outlook for the AUD is neutral for now, but that is largely dependent on what happens to China and whether key commodities like Iron Ore and Coal can stop their recent bleeding. Until the covid situation improves materially, and until commodities and China’s growth stabilizes, the AUD is best suited for short-term tradesin line with strong short-term sentiment.

POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES
Tactical positioning looksstretched, and trading at these levels it increases possibility of some mean reversion or position squaring which could trigger some upside in the NZD. Positive Covid developments in China (easing restrictions, more fiscal or monetary stimulus, or letting go of the covidzero policy) could trigger bullish reactions in the NZD. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the NZD. With calls for the bank to potentially tilt more dovish, any outsized hike (75bsp) or aggressive push back against those expectations could offer some NZD upside. Any catalyst that triggers some recovery in commodity markets (China stimulus, lifting covid restrictions, new infrastructure projects in China, higher inflation fears; lower growth concerns) should be supportive for the NZD.
POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES
Negative Covid developments in China (increasing restrictions or adding additional ones) could trigger bearish reactions in
the NZD. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the NZD. Since a lot of policy tightening has been priced into STIR markets, any negative catalysts that triggers less hawkish RBNZ expectations (faster deceleration in growth or inflation) could trigger downside for the NZD. Watch out for a lowering in OCR expectations at the upcoming meeting as some participants think the bank will announce a slow dovish pivot in the next few meetings. Any catalyst that triggers more downside in commodity markets (additional China restrictions, demand destruction fears, further growth concerns) could weigh on the NZD.

AUDNZD Best short of the year!The AUDNZD pair is trading within a Channel Up since the start of May but has most likely peaked based on this unique pattern going back 8 years.
The chart is on the 1W time-frame where the MACD is trading downwards after a late June Bearish Cross. As you see, every such Bearish Cross above the 0.0 MACD level, formed a long-term Top on either a Channel Up or Down pattern since 2014. All the downtrends that followed this peak formation were sharp sell-offs that dropped to at least the 1.0500 level (symmetrical Support) even though most reached a lot lower.
As a result since we are still inside the Channel Up pattern, this could be the best place for a sell position this year. You can use three target levels: the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) short-term, the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) medium-term and the 1.0500 Symmetrical Support for the long-term.

SHORT AUDNZD on Daily ChartEntered a short position on AUDNZD after eyeballing test, retest, and rejection of price around the 1.11750 area. Price is currently trading below the weekly pivot, however it has been ranging into this asymmetrical triangle pattern. The system I traditionally follow did not print an EWT (Entry-with-trigger), but I am getting some divergence along with CCI overbought action, though normally I would not trade off of either without confirmation.

The RBA which finally started their hiking cycle has also failed to provide much support for the AUD, with recent comments suggesting the bank isn’t ready to confirm the aggressive number of hikes that STIR markets have already priced in. While Iron Ore prices stays pressured and covid lockdowns in China persists, we are moving our bias to neutral for the AUD. The only reason why we haven’t shifted to bearish is because the recent data out of China has been better than expected, and still poses upside risks for the currency if things like Iron Ore can put in a base and show some recovery.
POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES
Positive Covid developments in China (easing restrictions, more fiscal or monetary stimulus, or letting go of the covidzero policy) could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD.

Negative Covid developments in China (increasing restrictions or adding new ones) could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. Any catalyst that triggers more downside in Australia’s key commodity exports (additional China restrictions, demand destruction fears, and additional news on recent centralized iron ore buyers) could be negative for the AUD.

Thus, any overly dovish comments or potential data triggers (CPI this week) can trigger bearish reactions in the AUD.

AUDNZD Channel Up vs Head and ShouldersThe AUDNZD pair has been trading within a Channel Up ever since the November 19 2021 Low. Two upper and lower tolerance levels of 1.236 and -0.236 have been accounted for. This time though, as the price is trading around the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) since June 20, using it as a pivot, a new pattern has emerged. That is a Head and Shoulders (H&S).
That is so far contained within the Channel Up but a break below it can see the price testing the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time since January 17. Our trading plan is based on the break-out (candle close) approach. A break below the lower tolerance level of the Channel constitutes a sell signal towards the -1.0 Fibonacci extension (1.075), in which case the H&S pattern prevails. Until that happens, we continue being within the dominant Channel Up, hence bullish towards a new long-term Higher High near the 2.0 Fibonacci extension (1.1383).

AUD/NZD Outlook (6 July 2022)As previously discussed, the AUDNZD reacted with signifcant volatility on the 1.1050 resistance level.
Expected volatility in the NZDUSD and further weakness in the AUDUSD, the AUDNZD is likely to retest the 1.1050 level but still trade within a wide range of 1.0950 (support) and 1.1050 (resistance).
Look for a rejection of the resistance level for a potential trade back down.
