KRWUSD will sink before it will float againBefore we start off with the latest reviews, I want to wish a Happy New Year to all my Followers, visitors, lurkers and haters here on Trading View. Here wishing you the most profitable and bullish year full of impulses and exciting trades in 2021. 2020 was a b... of a year, and I am raising my glass to a clear and sunny 2021. And in the meantime, let's have a look at a few more FOREX pairs.
KRWUSD is appearing to be locally short term bearish, as it is in SubWave 4. We can see bearish goals in purple, invalidation is in red. This one will drop before it will rise again. Happy hunting, and again, none of what I say is specifically financial advice.
KRWUSD trade ideas
ridethepig | KRW for the Yearly Close📌 KRW for the Yearly Close
This brings into an important consideration for review the long-term KRW chart, the plan chosen by sellers has been able to lure in late unaware buyers at the highs because of the simple nature of the impulse employed. By trapping the highs and aiming for the negative break in the yearly close, it is a very bearish sign.
Moves like these, do not happen often and are noteworthy. Another Yearly outside candle which as a matter of fact, should fix itself towards 900. What is important for us to track here is the 'pressure' break which is being played after the Fed capitulation. So it is worth considering adding to shorts as this looks set to continue in 2021.
📌 Nevertheless, I will continue to go through the technicals across the board, before we dig into macro details together towards the end of year for a final talk shop.

KRW UpdateBlew right through the resistance, headed to the next. Almost impossible to short foreign index ETFs with the dollar tanking.
The tanking dollar will obviously lead to inflation, even if the economy tanks next year. Funny that it was Korea that was concerned about stagflation last year.... seems like the US has more to worry about now.
Just remember we don't manufacture jack chit in the US, and everything that's imported will become more expensive. Buy your appliances before this crap goes parabolic.
KRW/USD Korean CurrencyCUrrency looks like it got rejected by resistance, should whipsaw here.... hopefully down next week.
When trading foreign index ETFs like EWW, EWY, EWZ, or TUR, you gotta pay attention to the currency trade as well. The funds are NOT hedged against currency which means you're playing both the index and the currency.
You can trade these ETFs to take advantage of currency trades, take a look at TUR. Between Biden being elected, vaccine, and the issue in Armenia being resolved, TUR went up like crazy this month.... (I missed the boat on it though I made a killing a couple of years ago when the Turkish Lira crashed)
KRW UpdateI don't know if this is a double top or if it's just gonna head straight for the top. US has zero interest rate for the first time ever, so currencies can hit new ATH.
Made money on EWY puts overnight, but flipped them in the morning.
Funny thing is that the weak US currency will mean Korean goods will be more expensive, so it's not good for them.
USDKRW Long - target 1140The KOSPI has topped as expected and foreign investors are beginning to cash out.
Current fundamentals show that export volume has declined by almost half and a strong KRW is killing competitiveness and denting profits on exporting companies which should translate to drop in stock value.
USDKRW should hit 1140 in short/mid term and come back down to the 1100 range due to seasonality and BTFD mentality among investors
Building Long positions from 1,100 - 1,090- USDKRW is getting close to reaching the multi decade long support in the 1,100 - 1,090 range
- Price is currently outside the lower Monthly BB band
- Increasing covid cases worldwide, double dip recession in EU, and uncertainty on a smooth transfer of power in the US added to the highest number of Covid cases are brewing the perfect storm for a flight back into USD
ridethepig | KRW Q3 Macro Flows📌 A short update here for those tracking USDKRW ... It has been a very slippery pig since the last update:
Here buyers stormed into control and chose to occupy the bid protecting 1140 via Covid flows. The relieving of this profit taking has become a bit more enterprising possibly via the idiosyncratic spike in cases for the U.S.
The next moves are cooked and almost ready to go... since the centralisation of EM FX has taken place, the board is forced to exchange in the same swing. Vaccine headlines are coming in from all angles, more fiscal and CB stimulus are also there for the last few days of July for markets to get stuck into.
Typically we will see the ebb and flow in risk start by August, thin and choppy liquidity markets in the middle of summer make forr useful loading zones in calm waters.

USDKRW A long-term approachPattern: Multi-year Channel Up on 1W since mid 2014.
Signal: If the green trend-lines break, it is a sell signal but suitable to long-term traders only.
Target: First to the 1W MA200 and then the Higher Lows trend-line of the long-term Channel Up as illustrated by the green arrows.

Some are locking down partly, again
South Korea closing down parks, art gallerias, museums for the coming two weeks as sudden spike in Corona cases has hit South Korea this week.
Korean Won, weaker over past weeks.
South Korea was quick the first time, will the world once again be behind South Korea when it comes to controlling Corona?
The USELESS SOUTH KOREAN WON: VIX of Currency MarketsSome Say USDKRW Is the VIX if the Currency Market. South Korea's currency is pretty much worthless currency relegated to being used as an "entertaining" VIX that pops up and falls down like a K-pop star.
One can see leading up to the dot com bust and previous busts that the USDKRW pair rose up in a VIX like way. Will history repeat itself? I am posting this to track it for future reference leading up to a recession.
A chart of the US yield spread:
Similar to 1930 but with currency devaluation-> LONG USD"So what do all these very different recessions have in common? For one, oil price, demand and supply sensitivity appear to be consistent, and frequent historical precursors to U.S. recessions. A spike in oil prices has preceded nine out of 10 post-WWII recessions." Oil has fallen to 22$ and is shocking global funding markets. Not enough dollars to create 15Trillion Dollars needed offshore and onshore shortage. All EMs who have debt or credit with the U.S will be affected.
USDKRW - Covid-19 Hits Korean WonAs the increase of Covid-19 cases in South Korea keeps increasing (Currently 433 cases), I expect the Korean Won to drop heavily during the following days and weeks. The new cases have increased the fears about greater transmission outside China.
I expect the USDKRW to go higher, especially since the possibility of closing businesses due to the virus. I am expecting the USDKRW to go to higher than 1244 and then break to around 1273 in the following days or weeks. The last time USDKRW went to 1273 was in May 2010.
