ZARUSD trade ideas

USDZAR-SELL strategy 4-hourly chart The SL was right to have, and reinstating at 19.3100 area, unfortunately was outside on the way and not being able to provide that idea. However, we are starting in a decline mode, but would prefer careful entry at the selected level. Strategy SELL @ 19.2500-19.3000 when seen again and place SL above 19.4150. Profit order now @ 19.0150 area.

Short

Possible 5-wave impulse on USD ZAR A failed break below 19.10 will be an indication of a 5-wave impulse to 19.60. Critical support level remains on 18.97

Updated

Re-test of rates above 19.00 The rand has been able to weather the storms of the broad-based stronger dollar thanks to the spike in precious metal prices however the rand did stumble at the back end of last week following the higher-than-expected US CPI print. The critical rates to watch on the USDZAR pair is the 61.8% Fibo rate of 18.97 and the 200-day MA rate of 18.75. I expect the 200-day MA to hold its ground given the renewed geopolitical uncertainties which will see the pair re-test the 18.97 resistance rate. A break above 18.97 will see the rand fold further towards 19.15.

Long

Updated

USDZAR-SELL strategy 4-hourly chart The pair has made a wonderful climb and the daily chart suggestion worked out well as we reached that objective. Now the 4-hourly chart is starting to feel heavy on upside. The stochastic is negative last few sessions already. Strategy SELL @ 19.0200-19.0750 and place SL above 19.1550 for now. Profit order @ 18.8350.

Short

USDZAR-SELL strategy 4-hourly chart The pair has spiked a bit on the back of weakening GOLD price, which is heavily overbought for some time. Stochastic is slightly negative, and on the high side, but did does not suggest we cannot see it return higher. I rather focus on the pattern, and as depicted, likely a "false bull flag" pattern is the case. Strategy SELL @ 18.8700-18.9300 range and place SL above 19.0350. Profit order @ 18.6150 for now.

Short

USDZAR-SELL strategy 4-hourly chart The pair is under pressure and likely we may see a test of 18.5150. Strategy SELL @ 18.7450 - 18.7750 and place SL above 18.8575 and profit order @ 18.5650.

Short

USDZAR-BUY strategy Daily chart The pair is under pressure due to higher GOLD prices, and its logically then to expect lower levels. The 4-hourly chart is showing possibility to see 18.5600 test. Stochastic is positive DAILY chart and GOLD will correct, therefore seeing an opportunity for more fun on the upside later on. Strategy BUY @ 18.6150 - 18.6300 and place SL below 18.5150. Profit order @ 18.9650.

Long

USDZAR-SELL strategy 4-hourly chart The pair did not move lower as yet, and my BUY suggestion never reached. Of course, GOLD is weakening, but remember, we move with the pair ahead of time. This should be of concern, and therefore, we may see a pullback again The stochastic is high, and shows overbought signs. Strategy SELL @ 18.8500-18.8800 and place SL above 18.9450. Profit order @ 18.6150.

Short

USDZAR-BUY strategy 4-hourly chart The pair moved as expected, and we reached profit objective and slightly more. For now, I feel we must continue from BUY side due to the expected GOLD and other precious metals corrections. There should be some pullback towards 18.6150 I feel. Strategy BUY @ 18.6150-18.6500 and take profit @ 18.8750. SL I feel maybe below 18.5150.

Long

Sell on USDZAR This pair has been long coming we have been on the sell for the longest of time. Price has been heading down for quite sometime now, but our reason for entry is that it broke and retested the trend and the short standing resistance it has created.

USDZAR-BUY strategy 4-hourly chart The pair has moved lower, which was logical, but would not have ventured beyond 18.5600 for the reasons stated. now we are much lower, and my view is same as yesterday, we seek BUY entries now in expectation of GOLD correction. Strategy BUY @ 18.4150-18.4550 and take profit @ 18.6475 now. SL place below 18.3150 as I do not wish to be tricked into it. However, it is a personal choice where you place your SL of course.

Long

USDZAR-BUY strategy 4-hourly chart the pair is oversold, but not extreme, and stochastic is not too low as yet. However, I feel with GOLD levels, we should concentrate on GOLD movement, and its heavily overbought, hence we should look for BUY for the pair now. Strategy BUY @ 18.4350-18.4600 and place SL below 18.3150 (I do not want SL to near now). Profit order @ 18.6850.

Long

Calm and composed ZAR ahead of the local elections. With the help of stronger commodity prices, the local unit is weathering the volatility storms ahead of the local elections. The rand has been able to keep the USDZAR pair below the critical rate of 18.97 which has allowed the rand to pull the pair below the 200-day MA support of 18.75, despite the broad-based dollar strength. The pair however remains trapped in the blue wedge but the rand is knocking on the bottom end of the wedge once again. A test on the support rate of 18.54 seems like the next move for the pair but I expect the blue support range between 18.30 and 18.40 to hold its ground before the elections, if the rand manages to catch that break. A failed break below 18.50 will however see the pair pop back higher to re-test the critical rate of 18.97.

Updated

USDZAR down (-0.61%) today, take advantage and sell, 4hr USDZAR in selling after a breakout from our trendline. With a head & shoulder inside the trend that confirmed the trend reversal we will will gain a few pips with the selling train until the beginning point of the head & shoulder.

USDZAR-NEUTRAL strategy update 4-hourly chart I took profit at 18.5650 and did this due to uncertainties of GOLD correction, when it will happen etc. For now, am side line and consider NEUTRAL stance for the pair. However, noting we are going negative stochastic, and there is a possibility to move lower to test 18.5150 and maybe even 18.4350. I am not pushing it am careful and prudent. Will update once I have a strong conviction of what to do next.

USDZAR-NEUTRAL SELL strategy 4-hourly chart I aborted the pair near 18.6900 as it starts looking tired for now. The stochastic is starting to look negative (not as yet) but it feels it will and besides GOLD is higher again, even though over bought heavily, we should consider the likely event of a test of 18.5500. For now am a careful SELL or stay neutral at current conditions. I would certainly be buyer lower levels near 18.4750 area, if seen. Strategy SELL (if one wishes too) @ 18.6500-18.6800 and take profit near 18.5150. SL guess place this above 18.7950 now.

USDZAR BUYS This pair is very tricky at this point as it rests on trend line. Many traders anticipate a breakout toward 17.5 but before that can happen, we believe sell will only be activated at 19.6. Let's buy and hold. The chart is self-explanatory.

Long

by Technical_AnalystZAR

USDZAR This is what I see, I anticipate a sell on the Zone above, I guess it will fill the imbalance then a drop of about 100 point or above

USDZAR-BUY strategy 4-hourly chart The pair has remained supported 18.5500 area and SL change has protected it from harm. We are embarking on a move higher and as mentioned earlier, GOLD is correcting and feel it will start moving towards $ 2,235 soon and lower. Strategy is keep positions that are LONG or add or BUY @ 18.6750-18.7000 and take profit @ 18.8450 for now. SL keep same @ 18.5500 below for existing positions or @ 18.6150 below.
