EURNZD: Multidisciplinary approachInteresting observations about EURNZD, if you are long from the bottom, good for you!
But where do you take profits? Where do you scale in or how do you trail stops?
Good questions that depend on your own methodology.
Here, I'm seeing multiple hints for a possible top in this relentless rally. Everyone's pessimistic about the New Zealand Dollar, which makes me want to do the opposite...but how do I justify it?
In the chart we can see a potential Elliott Wave count and time analysis, which guess what? Matches my time at mode uptrend signal. An AB=CD measured target of swings gives us a projected top where wave A and B would be equal in size...Now, if this were indeed A and C and the correction in the middle was a wave B expanded flat, then this would be a possible top for this rally.
Moving on, the time at mode profile balance point lies a bit higher than the AB=CD, and projected zigzag top (as long as wave C is 1:1 with wave A and not an extended wave C...or God forbid, an incomplete and huge wave 3, which would be very strange, but not impossible).
The range target has been exceeded, and I'm positive there's an overwhelming number of NZD bears, and with the modes becoming smaller after the middle one with 11 bars, I wouldn't attempt a daily chart long here, too risky.
So, what to do?
You know the drill...Let's sit and wait for a confirmed short entry instead. -unless you have time in your hands and can trade lower timeframes like my friend Nick Coulby, who's sitting in a profitable lower tf long).
Cheers,
Ivan.

NZDUSD: Interesting contrarian point of viewI'm looking at NZDUSD as a potentially long trade, why I decided to chart the inverse pair, USDNZD to change the perspective a bit.
What I see is a potential large short* opportunity (*in USDNZD) , if the profile balance point proves to be a reversal level, and the distribution becomes a normal one, forming a bell curve shape. (respective to the time spent at price profile, a technique I learned from Tim West).
The rate cut formed a very wild outside bar, which isn't clearly bullish, yet it happened at a very volatile juncture, inside a 10 bar mode.
The shape of the pattern is looking like an expanding triangle, but I'm not sure of the EW specifics.
For the time being, I'll watch this pair for short trade setups, and will update the thread if I see a good opportunity.
Cheers,
Ivan.
NZDCHF: Interesting imbalanceI suspect it's time for the NZD to catch up with the GBP vs the Swiss Franc as you can see in this chart.
The trade offers a great risk/reward ratio if it works.
I'm entering a long position now, and looking to scale in if possible, using the 4h chart as a guide.
The rate decision will bring intense volatility, and might fuel a strong rally.
Cheers,
Ivan.
AUDNZD medium termAs the fundamental situation is changing I am looking to join the new up trend building.
RBNZ last year was rising rate and now they are thinking to cut, on the other hand RBA after the last cut is becoming more neutral.
Technically this cross has made a new higher high coming from an all time low, at the moment it looks too stretched and in need of a technical retracement.
At the end of the retracement I'll be a buyer.
I'll try to buy as low as possible to be able to place my stop loss below the all time low and keep my R:R higher than 1:1
EURNZD: Time at mode uptrend signal expires in one dayAs you can see in the chart, we have had a strong bullish move from the lows after breaking a highest low trendline.
Right now, there's risk of a broad depreciation of the euro vs stronger currencies, in particular vs the higher yielding Kiwi and the dollar, naturally.
After crude oil started correcting, most euro, chf and gbp pairs started strong bullish legs, but we might be nearing said legs' end.
The last uptrend target signal in the daily will expire after tomorrow's NY close, suggesting a possible reversal or correction.
Other interesting facts:
-Ichimoku shows chikou span hitting cloud resistance, which is very bearish.
-Price just hit a previous mode, a strong resistance area.
The idea is shorting under the highest daily low once that happens.
Good luck!
Ivan.
NZDCHF: Update - 4h chartAs I posted in the comments section of my monthly chart, this pair is in a potentially very strong downtrend.
We're looking at a complete 5 wave decline, with an apparent 3 part correction, which looks like a zigzag and could be complete.
I suggest watching price action at the open and waiting for confirming price action before taking a new short position.
Good luck,
Ivan.
EURNZD: Wave 1-2-3, done, now?This is a time at mode analysis of the current EURNZD uptrend.
We have an uptrend time expiration in 2 bars and CCI divergence in the recent top, whilst also seeing the highest low level taken by the last down bar. On top of this, price reached and exceeded the target ahead of time, by three times the projected range, which tells me it's currently overbought.
Sellers might be in control for the time being.
Using EW rules, we could conclude the next wave should be a sharp correction, but I'll refrain from taking a guess here.
I want to take the long side, If there's a short opportunity I'll use the downtrend to time my long entry.
Cheers,
Ivan.
NZDCHF: Monthly map - Potential long term NZD weakness aheadInformational chart only.
If we cross the level price sits at confidently, we might retest lower areas, around the 0.63043 mark.
I'll update with a shorter timeframe short entry.
Currently in the middle of a very strong decline with no pause.
Looks to be impulsive behavior after a long term consolidation.
The triangle in CCI is wild speculation, but makes me think this consolidation phase is over.
Among other factors, derived from observing multiple currency pairs.
NZDCHF: Positive carry long setupWe can expect to buy a retracement and ride it to at least one of the two targets above.
Positive carry quickly adds up while you hold the position open, be it in profit or a drawdown, as you wait to hit your target.
I'd like to go long here, but need a retracement entry.
Patience is a virtue they say...
NZDUSD 4 HOUR CHARTThe Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to hold rates. With the Kiwi being resilient of late, Graem Wheeler is likely going to jawbone about it being overvalued, which should give it at least some short-term drag, especially against the USD. In terms of monetary policy, the press conference might reveal whether or not a rate cut is still on the table, and if it is, the NZD will have even more bearish pressure.
Hi-Prop Reversal @ 93.661 | $NZD $JPY #RBNZ #BOJ #elliottwaveFriends,
As you may recall, a recent predictive analysis/forecasting was released for this same $NZDJPY pair, pertaining to a higher timeframe (4-hour - See link below).
Fundamental analysis remains intact here regarding the $NZD.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
Looking at the internal activity of the aforementioned 4-Hour chart, I applied the predictive/forecasting model to define a high-probable level of reversal.
That level is currently defined as:
- TG-Hi = 93.661 - 23 DEC 2014.
If and once this level controls price, one shuold shift back to the higher timeframe (4-hour chart0, which remains the controlling frame for this pair at the moment,
FIBONACCI RELEVANCE:
A Fibonacci matrix is overlaid here, but lends no clear alignment with any forecast level of support. Instead, the structural level defined at 91.611 should offer a temporary support IF and once price adopts a bearish tack.
ELLIOTT WAVE RELEVANCE:
The dominant price action remains that of a complex internal zig-zags, one at a higher-degree (in purple) defined by a pending w-x-y-xx-(z) and a lesser-degree 1-2-3-4-(5) impulse, both of which hold a high-probability of corroborating with the predictive/forecasting model's target at 93.611.
This apical level would possibly complete a over-throw at Point-e, satisfying a bearish Ending Diagonal requirement.
OVERALL:
The original chart of interest rests at the 4-hour level. However, this 1-hour timefarme offers a chance to calibrate a reversal level in support of the predictive/forecasting analysis effected in the H4 level, which sees a dominant bearish control in price.
INVALIDATION:
The analysis should be considered invalid IF and once price commits to a level higher than Point-W = 93.968.

RBNZ want a cheaper KIWI !!Based on the fundamental facts that the RBNZ need a cheaper Kiwi to improve their economy. That and concern over the dairy trade will bring the Kiwi lower.
In regards to the technicals, according to the ABCD Fibonacci extension there is further downside to be seen. This geometrical pattern was structured using the weekly pivot high as A (0.8840), weekly pivot low as B (0.7354) and weekly pivot high July 2014 yearly high as C (0.8840).
The RED arrow points to where price broke through the triangle pattern and created a new Supply Zone. This RED SUPPLY zone should keep price down and is a great zone to short the Kiwi in regards to risk reward!
I have 3 D extension targets in which Target 1 and 2 or more likely to get hit. I am expecting Targets 1 and 2 to be hit within the 1st half of 2015.
GBPNZD - Short Term BearishRBNZ Interest Rate Decision - there has been speculation that the bank will cut rate today. In anticipation of this most of the NZD pairs have shown NZD to be weak as other have gained.
However, looking at all NZD pairs it seems that the gains have been of the corrective nature. Therefore, if the rates are maintained there could be spike in the prevailing direction and then reverse.
So with that in mind whilst GBPNZD remains long term bullish, the overall correction in play from recent high at 2.10 is still in development. If correct I suspect we might get short opportunity with high at 2.081 as the pivot on which suitable protective stop loss could be place or even better the high of 2.10.
Downside target is potentially 1.97 - 1.95 zone as the bottom of the rising trend channel.
Failing this once the action has settled a short position could be considered on any retracement of the initial decline.
As always, if you like my analysis select to follow me and the chart but do your own analysis for any trade planning and appropriate money management.

$NZD Nears Bullish Shark Completion; Sees 5-0 Completion #forexTraders,
There is little question that the fundamentals have pulled the carpet from underneath this export-dependent economy, and that a slumping Asian theater demand will do nothing supportive for this currency.
However, on a technical basis, there is a possibility of a Bullish Shark reversal at the 0.81335 level. This pattern is often flanked with its acolyte, namely the 5-0 pattern, whose namesake points to a 50% retracement of the Shark conclusive swing.
Overlay of predictive/forecasting model has produced the following probable targets - listed in expected chronological visits:
1 - TG-1 = 0.81335 - 10 SEP 2014
2 - TG-Hi = 0.84838 - 10 SEP 2014
and
3 - TG-2 = 0.7866 - 10 SEP 2014
As indicated earlier this evening in the Forex Intel Room (link: www.tradingview.com ):
"ANZ hit target on its $NZDUSD Short circa 0.82 (Medium-Term) at a profit of +400 pips"
This major bank's relief of its bearish pressure on the $NZD supposes that a lightening up of institutional weight combined with above proposed technical reasoning, may indeed provide the mechanical lift to see it rise to the defined targets above.
I will continue to use this chart to post $NZD-related charting and technical commentaries, including occasional Forex Intelligence on major banks' FX positioning from linked room above.
Cheers,

All Targets Hit - Potential Reversal Pending | $NZD #RBNZ #forexTraders,
On March 28th, I defined three distinct targets, all of which have been hit. The most recent target remained pending on last analysis (see it here: ), when TG-3 = 0.88099 was overing a few pips above and fundamentals were waivering (milk prices were pointing down while RBNZ was talking about increasing its rate).
At this point, TG-3 has been hit dead-on and price rolled over half of the most recent bullish impulse, suggesting a potential strengthening among bears.
The predictive /forecasting model that helped defined all targets remains bullish, but I would caution against too much optimism at this point. Fundamentals aside, investors and institutional bankers have started to short this pair, so expect added downward pressure.
0.84013 could be used as a structural mark if the model (i.e.: algo signals) remains equivocal. As you may recall, all targets defined by numbers have a higher probability of getting hit, while all targets defined as TG-Hi or TG-Lo (referring to highest/lowest possible price excursion), carry a lesser probability of getting hit, but IF and once price reach these levels, they often act as reversal levels.
So far, all numerical targets (i.e.: TG-1, 2, and 3) have been hit, and TG-Hi remains perched at a loft 0.94565 value. I would want to see a break-above, close-above 0.88345 before looking at TG-Hi as a feasible ascent.
OVERALL:
In light of mounting institutional downward pressures and fundamental deterioration of commodities pricing, the bullish technical picture would carry less weight than current real-world developments. However, the model remains bullish. In the face of such analytical divergence, I will leave the directional indicator as "Neutral", until all elements line up, or price action attains the levels defined above.

Bearish Targets ... Even Deeper Downside? | $NZD $CAD #RBNZ #BOCFriends,
On a pure fundamental basis, a rate-based directional bias should favor a decline in the NZDCAD pair.
First, $NZD was recently affected by a decline in its dairy futures pricing, bringing the currency to a double-top formation near the 0.87525 level, and capping any new advance on the back on these futures price concerns.
Also, RBNZ stated:
"We saw nothing today to change our view that this tightening cycle has a long way to run before it’s all over and done", suggesting a low-likelihood of any added hike in its rate, especially following its 25% cash rate hike on June 11, 2014.
On the Loonie side, #BOC remains in a wait-and-see stance. Its initial consideration was to favor a decline in its rate. However, it also expressed concerns about any rate hike based on its export impact. In fact, consensus so far sees a "positive manufacturing trends and an improving U.S. economy" as a basis for an ulterior rate hike, but none have expressed a likelihood for this rate hike to occur in July 2014 - Rather, an increasing number of economist are suggesting that November would represent the earliest such hike, if at all.
PATTERN ANALYSIS:
On a pure pattern play, this category of trader might perceive the morphing of either Bullish Bat, whose Point-D would complete the pattern at 0.92020, although a more bearishly expectant trader might see a crab completing at a lower 0.89802 level.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
The model has produced a bearish market reversal confirmation signal, setting two bearish targets as follows:
1 - TG-1 = 0.92446 - 07 JUL 2014
and
2 - TG-2 = 0.91884 - 07 JUL 2014
These targets are colored to suggest that TG-1 (yellow) represents a moderate-probability target, whereas TG-2 (red) represents a lower-probability target. However, further downside is also probable, based on the recency of the reversal signal and the potential downside revealed by daily and weekly timeframes.
OVERALL:
Bearish outlook is based on the complicity of fundamental, pattern and predictive model data. An interim reaction to the upside remains a possibility as usual, but the technical data favors a downturn so far.
Cheers,
David Alcindor
