ZARUSD trade ideas

USDZAR-BUY strategy 8-hourly chart Heikin AshiThe pair continues southward, and this was aided by increase of GOLD price. There is no confirmation as yet for the correction to set-in, but nevertheless, we are oversold quite extreme, and as always it is difficult to select the BUY entry levels. I felt much earlier to try, but keeping SL in place all the time. For now strategy no change and BUY @ 17.8200-17.8800 or add to positions, if not stopped out. SL as always based on your own risk parameters. I see profit levels around 18.2150.

USDZAR Channel Down intact. More selling to come.The USDZAR pair has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since April and currently is more than half-way through its latest Bearish Leg. Technically it resembles the Bearish Leg of May, which completed a -7.00% decline in the pricing of its Lower Low. As a result, our short-term Target on this pair is 17.500 which is slightly less than -7.00%, near the Support 2 level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

USDZAR-BUY strategy 4-hourly chart Heikin AshiThe daily chart dominates, as noted yesterday that there was downside potential. Now we have moved beyond the suggested buy levels yesterday, but nothing has changed. we are oversold, and low stochastic levels, and the chance GOLD may retreat, poses upside risks. The Heikin Ashi is not confirming yet a turnaround as a note. Strategy BUY @ 18.0850-18.1200 and place SL according to risk appetite and profit order @ 18.3150 for now. one may already be long, so add based on the strategy if one is able too.

Rand to feel the carry trade squeeze The rand held up well despite the spike in volatility over the past two week however the macroeconomic back drop does not bode well for our local unit. The carry trade is unwinding forcing investors to close their Yen shorts which is the cause of the massive spike in volatility. The Nikkei is down 8% while the USDJPY has already dropped another 2% in early morning trade, this is not normal behavior. The rand is a risk-on asset and market sentiment is aggressively swinging to risk-off sentiment which is rand negative. The support at 18.12 is holding its ground and if the rand fails to pull the pair below this rate it will signal that the rand post-election rand strength has petered out. The pair is currently testing the resistance rate at 18.37 and a break above this level will see the pair break the downward channel to climb and test the 200-day MA at 18.62. If the current stress from the unwinding of the carry trade persists and we see a continued sell-off in risk assets the rand will soon find itself testing the downward trend line around the psychological 19.00 mark with a move towards 19.35 firmly on the cards.
