USDMYR trade ideas
USDMYR is hitting the ceiling?From the daily chart, it looks like USD is slightly losing its grip against Ringgit, having some hard time breaking out 4.5 zone. Also indicated from movement index that uptrend slight losing its power. But this doesn't necessary mean a good news to Ringgit too. Although Ringgit is starting to get take control since 5th January, we can still see obvious rejection to push the price even lower (Box 1).
Also EMA(130) hasn't been retested for quite some times. There may be a potential consolidation in the 4.4 - 4.5 area once the price fall below current EMA(130) and it hits the 4.4 support line, as the current uptrend (Box 2) has similar candlestick pattern structure from 25th May - 7th October 2015 (Box 3).
I still believe the price may hit 4.4, but probably may need huge effort from Ringgit side to make it happen.
USDMYR continue to rally higherUSDMYR:
USD continue to rally against MYR. The rally is strong as it stay above Daily EMA20 since 2 months ago. The first sign of recovery if it break below EMA20
- Major event ahead in US is Election on Nov 8th, 2016, and possibility of rate hiking in Dec2016.
- Msia just announced Budget for 2017. Total spending increase from last budget, significant an increase in potential spending next year. However, market does not respond positive/negatively over the news. It could be due to low trading volume as budget announced post-market time. Another reason is due to expected budget by market. Take note also on possible General Election in 2017, instead of 2018 due.
USDMYR: MYR get hit ?!?!?!? USDMYR:
USD spike up since Trump elected as US President. The rally is strong and broke above up trend line.
- “Global investors are favoring conditions in the U.S. market
- Offshore investors pulled money out of emerging Asia into U.S. Treasury, regional currencies were walloped. Malaysian ringgit dove 2.7%, according to FactSet.
- There are significant near-term uncertainties in the first few weeks after the election, as markets are waiting for President-elect Trump to lay out his policy directions.
- Understand Trump. Trump anti-Islam, anti-globalization, and anti-green. Pro- business, pro-American.
- The falling MYR is not an attack to Ringgit (based on current findings). Basically, emerging country will get hit as Trump favor in reduce tax, boost bank sector (loan). Offshore investment money flow to US.
- Malaysia point of view, MYR is very weak fundamentally, and is vulnerable to news. Thus, it get hit badly. Depreciated more than 12% in one day.!! But recover a bit shortly.
USDMYR Continue to Rally AgainA quick update on MYR. USD start to rally despite no rate hiking in Sept. Technically MYR have moved out from consolidate zone, and start depreciate further against USD. I foresee a slight and quick pull back on USDMYR, and then continue to rally. Next target of resistance will be around 4.2. To breakout from uptrend channel, USDMYR need to fall below 4.05 to form a Lower Low.

LONG IN USDMYRAFTER FOMC MEETING, IT IS LIKELY THAT THE FED WILL INCREASE THE FED FUNDS RATE IN JUNE, WHETHER OR NOT THE FOMC WILL ACTUALLY DO, THE MARKET'S EXPECTATION IS THAT IT IS HIGHER CHANCE FOR THE FED TO RAISE THE RATES, SO BUY LOW COULD BE AN OPTIMAL CHOICE, AT LEAST UNTIL EARLY OF JUNE, THEN WE COULD WAIT AND SEE THE OUTCOME OF FOMC MEETINGS.
MOREOVER, IF THERE IS SOME RESISTANCE OF WTI OIL PRICE AT THE LEVEL OF 50 USD / BARREL, THEN THE PERFORMANCE OF MYR WILL ALSO BE NOT SO GOOD.
TRADE IDEA:
BUY AT NEAR 4.0596
SL NEAR 4.02
TP1 4.1624
TP2 4.2414
