Kiwi
Short-Term Long, Long-Term ShortWhile a number of technicals point to a bit of an upside trend, this should be limited by short-term resistance followed by a correction back to the long two-year channel that has formed. Daily FX's Nick Cawley called this the trade of the year to short this pair. So far its not panning out. For more, check out www.anthonylaurence.wordpress.com
VIDEO ANALYSIS: SELL KIWI ON RALLIESIn this video update, we take a look at NZDUSD as price is respecting the supporting trendline zone. However,
we could see further downside to come to the kiwi as the RBNZ did state that the next rate announcement will likely
be lower. If the market rallies back to minor resistance levels we will be looking for further shorting opporunities here.
Kiwi Index Approached Support, Prepare For A Further Rise
Kiwi index approached its support at 6.8796 (horizontal swing low support, 100% Fibonacci extension,50% Fibonacci retracement) where it could potentially bounce to its resistance at 6.9311(38.2% Fibonacci retracement, 61.8% Fibonacci extension, horizontal pullback resistance ).
Stochastic (34, 5, 3) is approaching its support where a corresponding bounce could occur.

EURNZD tanks to 4-month lowBy Andria Pichidi - November 15, 2018
The Kiwi is doing extremely good the past month, and more precisely after the inflation release on October 16, above expectations at 0.9% in Q3 after the 0.4% q/q rise in Q2. Recently the employment gain on November 7, was well in excess of projections, while the drop in the jobless rate was contrary to projections for a tick higher, supported New Zealand Dollar further, especially due to the global uncertainty, in the political,/geopolitical or even trade front.
Today meanwhile, the backdrop of mostly firmer stock markets in Asia, and a rise in US Equity index futures, were also a bullish lead for the relatively higher beta antipodean currency. Outperforming the Euro, at a time in which the Europe remains fraught with risks, as the brinkmanship between Italy and the EU in terms of the budget continues to play out, Brexit uncertainty remains and there are signs of flagging economic growth momentum in the Eurozone.
EURNZD continue its strong way down and broke today 4-month low at 1.6567 . This breakout below the 1.6630 Support level, was a key move in the long term, as it represents the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement since 2017 low but also strong 6-month Support between November 2017- April 2014, before the rebound of the pair up to 1.7900 area. Therefore, as the pair moves for the 3rd consecutive week strongly to the downside, ready to complete 3 black weekly craws, simply adds to the constant deterioration in the outlook.
Taking into consideration the constant declines of the price but also on momentum indicators, the pair remains strongly to the bearish outlook, without nearterm corrections signs yet.
In the weekly basis, the RSI is at 35 looking to the downside, following a smooth negative slope since Octiber. MACD lines are decreasing to the downside below signal line, confirming the increase of negative bias. In the daily chart, RSI looks oversold. However, the bearish crossover of 20-day SMA to 200-day SMA, and as the MACD keeps extending to the downside, suggest that bears have the ultimate control.
The break of 4-month low, opened today the doors for the 1.6235-1.6360 area , set at the latest swing lower ( November 2017) and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Further gains could then target the 61.8% Fib. level at 1.5830.
However, as the pair remains in a sharp bearish price action, a clear reversal to the upside could only be confirmed with a move above the confluence of 50-week SMA, 20-day SMA and 23.6% Fib. level at 1.7100- 1.7170 area . This could open the doors for the continuation of the uptrend again.
As mentioned, in a wider picture, the pair remains in a bearish trend, while it confirmed 5 Elliott waves movements and it currently formed a corrective wave to the downside.

KIWI Too OVERVALUED Vs The USD! Will it Slump To 64 cents ?With the RBNZ already killing off the NZD by being more dovish than expected in their rate announcement yesterday, the kiwi fell against the USD overnight erasing in the process nearly 2 weeks gains!. For what many thought that the triangle has already broken to the upside just by the end of last week, it now seems it was a false breakout and rather unsurprisingly its now threatening to break the trendline of the triangle!
If the break does occur, the price will aim to test the area that had been tested before in the previous swing some few months ago. 0.64000 becomes the immediate target of this potential breakout! Moreover fundamentally, the kiwi is too overvalued against the USD which is also visible in the both of their interest rates with USD having a more higher interest rate. This year the kiwi is being speculated to depreciate against the USD and this might start to happen once the trendline is broken. adding salt to the wounds, the RBNZ might even cut OCR in their nexr meeting which may very well trigger a small rally enough to dump the NZD and pile the selling pressure.
The RR on this one is pretty good too (1:1.5). i am already SHORTING the NZDUSD but from the technical perspective its best to wait until the trendline breaks and retests before making an entry.
this is just my analysis on this pair and its not a trading signal. shall the criteria meet i will post the trade details in the thread. cheers
Another Short Opportunity for NZDUSDWe had a successful trade of NZDUSD earlier this week. I believe this is another chance to short this pair. I'll state my reasons below.
First, on the Daily TF, a 3-pin pattern was formed, but I know it's not the most perfect 3-pin formation. It gives us a reversal signal.
Second, on the 4H TF, it formed mini LHs and LLs, which show a downward pressure.
My stop loss is just 15 pips above the first mini LH and also above the descending trend line. My TP is the previous low as shown on the chart.
I don't expect this trade to play out this week. I'm gonna hold over the weekends and we will see a result next week.
Have a good weekend.
$NZDUSD: Likely to start trending in the weekly here...Powell might have kickstarted a rally -which was already brewing- in the Kiwi/Dollar pair.
I'd reccomend long exposure here, as long as we don't go below today's open, if aggressive, or if moving below the cyan box, if more conservative.
The target is the top of the cyan rectangle, to be reached before the right border is reached, time wise.
Best of luck,
Ivan Labrie.
A Close Above MONTHLY 50 EMA Could Take NZDJPY Towards 83.500 Price is currently confined in a descending channel or wedge on the weekly charts with multiple tests occurring on both sides of the channel making it more and more potent if a breakout occurs!
The blue lines on the main charts represent the support and resistance levels drawn from the monthly charts and as of few weeks ago the 75.000 level was respected and now the price seems to be heading towards the next resistance that lies in the 83.000 region. For this to take place the channel on the weekly charts must be broken convincingly and most importantly the MONTHLY 50 EMA must be broken to the upside (the monthly price candle must close above the monthly 50 EMA). Have a look at the picture below for further illustrations
Once all these take place and fundamentals starts to align with technical picture, we can take this pair LONG with swing trading chance towards the 83.5000 level.
On the flip side, shall the trendline gets rejected again on the weekly charts, then we can take this pair SHORT (day trading chance) towards the support beneath at 74.5000 level. see the image below for the technical aspects for the SHORT trade
If the wedge is broken, the daily 50 EMA must be broken too in the process for the SHORT trade to be confirmed. Once this all takes place we wait for the price to slightly retrace before making an entry
Shall there be any updates i would provide them in a new thread. this just represents my personal technical analysis behind this pair.
GBP/NZDGN measures out pattern and fibonacci wise to continue up to the 78% retrace. The pattern can become more complex so trade accordingly. But regardless of what it does, I will be expecting more upside to complete this higher time frame correction, 4 hr looks like it may just continue this week.
