AUDNZD 26th MAY 2022RBNZ (Reserve Bank of New Zealand) gave the results of its monetary policy meeting, by raising its interest rate by 0.5% to 2%. With this hawkish policy, the RBNZ became one of the banks that was very aggressive in raising interest rates, leaving other central banks such as The FED and the RBA. Going forward, the RBNZ divulges its plans that larger and earlier rate hikes will reduce high inflation rates.

NZDCHF 24th MAY 2022The New Zealand dollar's performance in response to this week's policy meeting will likely depend on whether the RBNZ signals that a bigger 50bp hike is more likely at its upcoming policy meeting. The underlying case for further policy tightening in New Zealand remains compelling. The latest CPI and labor market reports both continue to reveal building inflationary pressures.The New Zealand dollar's performance in response to this week's policy meeting will likely depend on whether the RBNZ signals that a bigger 50bp hike is more likely at its upcoming policy meeting. Without such hawkish policy signals, the kiwi risks disappointment.
Week Ahead - NZDUSD May 22nd, 2022Events:
US - FOMC Minute
US - core PCE Inflation
US - FED Speakers
FED is expected to raise interest rates by 50bp at the next meeting. Keep an eye out for dovish members warming up to the idea of a 75bp hike instead. Doves turning more hawkish.

NZD - RBNZ rates decision
Close to a 50bp hike is priced in. Expect a move in NZD if they only raise by 25bp.
AUDNZD: A Buy Setup Targeting the Previous HighLast week, AUDNZD has reached a new high at the 1.1100 level. The trend of AUDNZD is persistent; when the price has reached a new high, that means the trend will not easily reverse for a period of time. Therefore, we are looking for buy entries to capture any retracement from the previous high.
The price has retraced to 1.0980 level,which is the previous resistance level from where the price broke up. From the 1.0980 level, we can see that the price has formed a double bottom pattern, followed by the price breaking the neckline area. Then, we can see that the price further broke the descending trend line. Therefore, a strong bullish momentum has taken place at this level. We are waiting for the price to retrace to the neckline area. From there, we will enter buy positions and target the recent high of 1.1100 level

GBPNZD Trade IdeaA short trade opportunity has just presented itself on the GBPNZD trading chart!
This is evident from the bearish inverted pin bar candlestick which closes just below the 1.94773 daily horizontal resistance level and signals a rejection of the price level.
A stop at 1.95186 (about 45.1 pips) and a target at 1.92400 (about 233.5 pips) could see you in the region of a 5.18 reward-to-risk ratio.
As always, "Look first, then leap."
Happy trading!

NZDUSD 30th APRIL 2022Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is trying to cope with rising inflation and the housing market.

NZDUSD 7th APRIL 2022
AUDNZD: A Sharp Price Rejection from the Key Resistance LevelAUDNZD has reached a key resistance level of 1.1000, followed by an immediate sharp price rejection (a doji star plus a large bearish engulfing candle). Since 2020, all two long-term bearish reversals have occurred from this level. However, we know that the trend of AUDNZD is persistent. Therefore, we want to make sure that a reversal has actually occured before throwing in sell positions. It is good to enter the market late but right rather than early but wrong.
Entry Criteria:
After a rejection from the 1.1000 level, the price has reached a support level of 1.8000-1.8200. From here, we expect the price to bounce up again to retest the high, or if not, the 1.0900 level. If a reversal has really taken a place, then the price should break the support area of 1.0800, plus a daily candle closing below that support level. Only then, we can prepare our sell entries at the neckline area to capture the retest and ride the wave down to the first target of 1.0600 level.
NZDUSD 7th APRIL 2022Do you believe in strong dollars? Fundamentally, the USD is under inflationary pressure, especially in America. Biden continues to urge the Fed to immediately fight inflation. Jerome Powell has taken step by step since the end of 2021, the fed is considering QE then tapering it from 15M to double it 3 times, then in early 2022 the fed also raises the interest rate by 25bps. What is the impact? of course the USD will strengthen against other currencies. However, this has little impact on commodities-USD. Therefore, we can look for opportunities from the pair against the USD which have a chance to be corrected. Here I found an opportunity for NZDUSD. Technically, there is a Daily resistance area that cannot be breakout. The bearish trend will be perfectly seen if there is a release of good economic data for America.

NZDUSD: A Slight Retrace In Price Before Heading to 70 Cents ?NZDUSD is still on course to likely hit 70 cents! With both NZD and USD weakening so far this week, this pair has been falling suggesting that the NZD is on heavy sell. However this represents a chance to go LONG on this pair since the criteria has already been fulfilled (Observe main chart for all details).
Therefore it is suggested to await for the price to retrace and hit the ideal entry point before taking this trade LONG. However shall the 70 cents target be hit first then the trade becomes invalidated
Have a read at the above link for the complete analysis behind this setup. The current insight is for the traders that have not been able to get into this trade earlier. Now the chance might likely represent to take this trade long.

NZD USD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSNZD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: WEAK BULLISH
1. Monetary Policy
More hawkish than expected can sum up the February RBNZ policy decision. Even though the bank delivered a 25bsp hike and did not surprise with a 50bsp hike (probability was at 30% before the meeting), they managed to surprise markets with their upgraded projections and plans for QT. Markets were anticipating the bank to take a passive QT route by ceasing reinvestments, but instead announced that they will start to sell their bond holdings from July. Furthermore, markets were looking for the bank to upgrade their OCR terminal rate projection to between 2.8%-3.0% from 2.6% but instead increased it 3.4%, essentially adding another 3 hikes to their forecasts for the current hiking cycle. With the latest decision the RBNZ has once again showed that it’s the most hawkish central bank among the majors. However, price action will tell whether it’s been enough to finally see the markets giving the NZD the upside it deserves.
2. Economic and health developments
The economic outlook looks solid for New Zealand, with growth expected to accelerate, inflation expected to stay high, home prices still close to 30%, commodity prices doing well, and now also a ratified trade deal with China that is expected to open up more Chinese markets for New Zealand goods.
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the NZD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the NZD.
4. CFTC Analysis
Positioning changes has been very limited for the NZD in the past few weeks with major market participants all still holding onto net-short positions but roughly in the middle of the pack across all three. For now, positioning isn’t giving us many signals as to whether the next leg is more likely to be higher or lower for the NZD.
USD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: BULLISH
1. Monetary Policy
The Jan FOMC decision was hawkish on multiple fronts. The statement signalled a March hike as expected, but Chair Powell portrayed a very hawkish tone. Even though Powell said they can’t predict the rate path with certainty, he stressed the economy is in much better shape compared to the 2015 cycle and that will have implications for the pace of hikes (more and faster). Furthermore, he explained that there is ‘quite a bit of room’ to raise rates without damaging employment, which suggests upside risks to the rate path. A big question going into the meeting was how concerned the Fed was about recent equity market volatility . But the Chair explained that markets and financial conditions are reflecting policy changes in advance and that in aggregate the measures they look at isn’t showing red lights. Thus, any ‘Fed Put’ is much further away and inflation is the Fed’s biggest concern right now. The Chair also didn’t rule out the possibility of a 50bsp hike in March or possibly hiking at every meeting this year, which was hawkish as it means the Fed wants optionality to move more aggressive if they need to. We didn’t get new info on the balance sheet and Powell reiterated that they’re contemplating a start of QT after hiking has begun and they’ll discuss this in coming meetings. Overall, the tone and language were a lot more hawkish than the Dec meeting and more hawkish than consensus was expecting.
2. Global & Domestic Economy
As the reserve currency, the USD’s global usage means it’s usually inversely correlated to the global economy and global trade. The USD usually appreciates when growth & inflation slow (disinflation) and depreciates when growth & inflation accelerates (reflation). Thus, current expectations of a cyclical slowdown (and possible stagflation) are good for the Dollar. Incoming data will be watched in relation to the ‘Fed Put’ as there are many similarities between now and 4Q18, where the Fed were also tightening into a slowdown. If growth data slows and the Fed stays hawkish it’s a positive for the USD, once the Fed pivots dovish that’ll be a negative for the USD.
3. CFTC Analysis
The USD remains a net-long across major participants, but with price action looking stretched and with peak hawkishness for the Fed arguably close with >6 hikes priced, the risk to reward of chasing USD strength is not very attractive right now. Continued stagflation and geopolitical risks it mean that stretched positioning might not be as important as usual. JP Morgan also shared some stats that suggest the USD has a historical tendency to strengthen in the 6 months going into a first hike but then to weaken during the 6 months directly after a first hike. This is an interesting phenomenon which is worth keeping in mind given the USD’s recent performance.
NZDUSD: 70 Cents A Likely Target For The KIWI After Breakout!Price is at a critical resistance level! The 0.68600 level needs to be cleared for the price to target the next high which happens to be the psychological resistance of 70 Cents. Looking at the main daily chart, the descending channel although violated, has not really been broken. The resistance at 0.68600 is preventing this from being a reality.
Once the daily candle closes above this level, we can likely assume that the resistance has been broken and the price is ready to climb further supported by the ascending trendline. An ideal 1:1 risk to reward ratio needs to be balanced for the trade to be executed. With both take profit and stop loss visible on the main chart, the entry point needs to be adjusted ideally to match 1:1 RR.
