UPDATE I was wrong with USD/ZAR - Now it's undecidedWith trading it's not about certainties but probabilities.
And in this case I was soo optimistic about the rand breaking its Inverse Cup and Handle and heading to R16.50.
But instead the USD/ZAR rallied to R19.74.
Apart from the negativity kicking in with the US, there is one thing I didn't really consider. And that is the US Dollar is going to hurt - no doubt.
But the rand and emerging economies will more likely hurt even worse. Because despite it all we still follow the big boys (DOw, SP500, UK100)
Hence when the US sneezes, the world catches a cold.
But then we have other reasons for the rand weakening
1. 🗳️ Political Uncertainty in SA
Coalition tensions and governance concerns are making investors nervous, pushing money out of SA.
2. 📉 Lower SARB Interest Rates
South Africa cut rates again, making the rand less attractive to yield-seeking investors.
3. 🌍 Global Risk-Off Mode
Traders are fleeing emerging markets amid global tensions—hurting the rand, boosting the dollar.
4. 💼 Weak SA Economic Outlook
Low growth, high unemployment, and power issues reduce confidence in South Africa’s economy.
5. 🇺🇸 Stronger Dollar Demand
U.S. dollar gaining strength globally due to safe-haven demand and higher relative rates
So, yes - We are seeing some rand strength now and we are back to R18.88.
We will need to wait for the next formation before we make any deductions on where it is likely to go.
It could break up with the Falling Flag and run up to R20.00.
Or it could stabilise and form an Inverse Cup and Handle again and drop to R17.50.
We need to wait and see. I can't always post my winners - or else I wouldn't be an actual trader.

USDZAR Analysis: A Buy Setup in FebruaryThe USDZAR daily timeframe for February presents an "open low" structure, indicating a potential BUY SETUP . This structure signifies that the market has maintained a bullish sentiment, starting with low prices early in the month and showing an upward trajectory. Traders should note this trend and align their strategies accordingly, as it suggests strong buyer activity. February’s price action offers opportunities for long positions, supported by additional technical indicators confirming the market’s direction.
A significant confirmation of buyers’ presence in the market came with today’s TDI (Traders Dynamic Index) cross. The TDI cross, a widely-used momentum indicator, reflects strengthening bullish momentum. This confirmation aligns with the ongoing bullish structure, giving traders confidence in pursuing long positions on USDZAR. Such setups are especially valuable for traders monitoring currency pairs with volatile price movements like USDZAR.
Adding further support to the buy setup is the presence of a clear bullish divergence. This divergence began forming on Friday, January 24th, and continues through the current market low. Divergences between price action and momentum indicators often signal potential reversals or continuation of trends. In this case, the bullish divergence reinforces the likelihood of price moving higher, aligning with the broader market structure.
For precision in trade execution, traders should look for buy entries on lower timeframes. This strategy ensures optimized entry points while minimizing potential drawdowns. Target zones for profit-taking are critical for a structured trade plan. The first take-profit target for USDZAR is set at 18.59211 , providing an initial benchmark for closing partial positions or locking in profits. The second take-profit target, slightly higher at 18.67943 , offers a secondary level for maximizing gains as the bullish trend unfolds.
Proper risk management remains a cornerstone of successful trading. Traders should assess their risk-to-reward ratios carefully, setting stop-loss levels to protect against unexpected market reversals. Managing position sizes relative to account equity is essential for mitigating potential losses while capitalizing on this promising USDZAR buy setup.
$USDZAR short idea This week's price movements seems to favour bearish momentum from the USDXXX pair, however the outlook remains two sided. With the CPI event and fed speech after NY open, we're bound to see significant changes in the market. Points of interest remains 18.57986, 18.49814, 18.35750 and 18.23590.
USDZAR sailing in turbulent Trump tidesLast week has been a rollercoaster for the ZAR after gaping up and touching a high of 19.00 in the early hours of Monday morning following the news of Trumps executive order. The rand however regained its footing as the news got digested which allowed the rand to pull the pair below the 50-day MA currently at 18.45. It seems as if an ABC corrective wave has taken place which is indicative of another 5-wave impulse higher for the pair.
The 50-day MA at 18.45 and the current yearly low of 18.30 serve as the critical levels to watch on the pair. A failed break below 18.30 will create a double bottom at this level which will leave the rand stranded ready to be pulled higher towards 19.22.
A break below 18.30 will however allow the rand to pull the pair out of the current upward channel and test the 200-day support at 18.12. This move will invalidate my current idea on the pair.
The main event to watch for the week is the US CPI print for January, which is expected to remain unchanged at 2.9%, just like it did back for the December print. US inflation has been ticking higher since October last year, almost right after the Fed started their cutting cycle and anything other than an inline or lower than expected CPI print will have the USDZAR packing and making its way above 19.00 since it will indicate that the Fed will stay higher for longer.
