Short Order: NZD/CAD
I have placed an order to short NZD/CAD @ 0.9240 which is the daily pivot point on Monday 15-02-2016. This is also in confluence with a 38.2 retracement on Friday's high to low.
I will place a stop loss just above R1 @ 0.9330. My target will 0.9000 where I will look to close out half the position and let the rest ride to break even.
SENTIMENT:
The CFTC report released on Friday showed WTI5 net long positions increase from 9k to just under 70k contracts. The CAD/USD also looks as though it could retrace further in the near term.
It is a bank holiday in the states tomorrow so I would not expect to see this trade move much until Tuesday.
What could go wrong...Oil prices continue to take a hit and NZD has a good week of data including retail sales, PPI Input and GDT Price Index.
I will review the sentiment daily to see if anything changes.
Appreciate comments back.
