EURNZD At Bearish Breaking Point After Hawkish RBNZ EURNZD is moving nicely down this week after RBNZ announced that they may lift rates next year, or maybe even at the end of 2021! As such, NZD is strong across the baord with EURNZD pair now sitting on a corrective channel line where we favour a breakdown as intraday weakness looks impulsive. On a higher time frame, there is interesting trendline coming in around 1.61.

New Zealand Dollar: NZD/JPY May Rise Post RBNZ, Triangle Break?The New Zealand Dollar may rise in the aftermath of the RBNZ rate decision, where the central bank offered hints at a rate hike during the second half of 2022.
It could capitalize particularly against the Japanese Yen, where the BoJ may remain more dovish in the long run.
NZD/JPY is attempting to break above an Ascending Triangle, where confirming the breakout could open the door to resuming the dominant uptrend towards peaks from 2018 and 2017.
Still, a key risk to the downside could be a material shift in market sentiment that fuels demand for the haven-linked Yen. But, ongoing easing and hesitation to taper from the Fed could keep market sentiment rosy for the time being.
Negative RSI divergence does warn that upside momentum is fading, which can at times precede a turn lower.
In the event of a drop, keep a close eye on the floor of the triangle as well as the 100-day SMA. These may reinstate the focus to the upside as key support.

NZDJPY Short off Retest of Trend LineIf you follow me on various social media, you know I have been long in general on the NZD. However, we have a super solid short entry here. Let's take a look.
On the 4H chart, we can see a trend line that has held for a few months, since March 21st. This is a relatively solid trend line, as it has been respected 5 times. A few days ago we firmly broke that trend line to the downside. At this point, I put this pair in my watchlist to wait for a retest. And sure enough, we're getting one. Here's the 4H chart below. Keep in mind that at the time of this writing, there are still two hours left in this candle.
Now, let's take a look at the 1H chart. The big green candle shows price accelerated into the retest line. However, it was met with a doji, followed by two very bearish candles. Both red candles have long upper wicks (as does the doji) and closed significantly lower. This is a good sign that a reversal is happening.
So, let's enter! I will be entering with 2% risk. However, the RBNZ statement is tonight. If we have not hit TP1 by the time the RBNZ nears, I will likely close half of my position and move stop to entry, and get rid of my TP1. Hopefully we can gather some pips to be in a good position before the RBNZ statement and presser.
I am in short at 78.755 with:
Stop at 79
TP1 at 78.5 (where I will close half of my position and move stop to entry)
Limit at 78
Risk of 2%
Symmetrical triangleIf you missed the Aussie dollars bull run, here we can milk from the overbought, trend-line resistance which is already in a correctional phase indicating a strong reversal. For entry I would use the Stochastic since it has been very accurate for reversals in this triangle.
Stop loss would be above Cs relevant resistance.
Good luck and follow me for more!
ridethepig | NZD for FED📌 ridethepig | NZD Market Commentary 27.01.2021
What is in play here?
Buyers depriving shorts of their rewards and not allowing the breakdown ahead of Fed. Strategically speaking, this looks and smells a lot like a slingshot. The strong rejection points towards the Kiwi inflows after RBNZ let slip that rate cuts are unlikely. On the Fed side, dollar devaluation is still the name of the game and a dovish Powell is already widely expected. Not expecting much positivity on the recovery front, positioning is the main factor in play here and a sweep of the highs would be healthy as is the case for EURUSD.

This chart illustrates the remaining crumbs in AUDNZD which is worth further study. The position from the previous diagrams continues and we are set for taking the next main target at 1.089x/1.090x.
Now, buyers have overcome their difficulties in development, the base is optimally protected from AUD inflows via the commodity side. Happy to continue holding AUD against the bird, and is a nice way to express a dovish view on NZD.

5th Wave Almost Complete - SELL The BreakdownGood evening traders,
The NZD has been on a monster rally over the past month.
Looking across multiple pairs, the NZDCAD and NZDUSD are setting up very similar scenarios.
We can see a nice 5 wave structure higher with a trend line support in play.
We are waiting for a breakdown from the trend line support to enter a short position on the pair, expecting an ABC corrective structure.
Stop losses will need to go above the most recent swing high.
Any thoughts our comments are welcome.
ridethepig | AUDNZD Market Commentary 09.12.2020📌 Buyers attacking and maintaining the pressure!
Since the initial weakness we spotted at the lows, we have seen the birth of an impulsive leg higher:
Of course this is very promising, buyers have much rather played the breakup and we got our momentum gambit! Well, for those wondering what rendered the base as valid, I would point you in the direction of the NZ10Y chart which was calling for the end of NZD strength as soon as we approach the 1.00% target.
We must be clear that in AUDNZD 1.055x contains a lot of interest, the ambitious dream of forcing a straight leg towards 1.075x and forcing our opponent into complete capitulation is far from fiction. We can now attack the breakout and force the aggression. The continuation might be 1.055x -> 1.062x -> 1.075x which keeps NZD under pressure.

ridethepig | NZD Chart of the WeekThis chart update comes after the conversation with @YIQI....
We are tracking how the following elegant defence can hold a breakup through, namely the main target in NZ 10Y Yields:
For those who remember, the sweep and breakup was what we had our eye on. A move from 50bps to 100bps was very fancy! And now we have for ourselves a change of scenery! The previous flow must unwind, and in plan of their new attack we can ride the profit taking.
Sharp sellers are itching to attack, 0.705x should be able to hold, I am in full sized positions.
Thanks for keeping the feedback coming 👍or 👎
ridethepig | AUDNZD Market Commentary 02.12.2020There was apparently no motivation for sellers to continue the advance lower and neither does it seem pragmatic. AUD buyers are showing up once more and this looks like the prelude to an exciting momentum gambit.
The trigger comes from a leap above the latent highs, it will move us forward full of energy as shorts start covering and the youthful arrogance of those reluctant to close get margin called. I choose to answer the lows with a gentle position, no more than one or two in the start, and the quietness of a worthwhile virtue.
The whole business of markets is about the advance for our momentum, because the traps have already been set, sellers still think they have won, but only when we zoom out on the macro charts can we truly demonstrate the underlying AUD strength.
So I would tend to describe the above floor as cheap and open. With clearing month end flows and markets trying to get their 2021 trades on early with commodity shortages entering into the picture already, we should emphasise exposure in AUD. Of course, Australian and China relationships are not working perfectly, although I expect this will be the story to track in 2021 rather than December 2020.

ridethepig | NZDUSD Market Commentary 2020.11.25📍 My dear readers, it is clear what we are trying to achieve here.... a protection of the highs / resistance with initial targets at our centre / pivot and extension targets below at support.
The control which belongs to buyers is blockaded and open to attack.
It is expensive to maintain the highs; this means that the necessary pullback when energy exhausts is all too easy to ride. It appears quite appropriate to consider the Dollar selloff exhausted and an advance in DXY via extreme risk-off flows as investors look for cover under the table.
Keeping a close eye on 0.70c as it turns out to be deceptive for buyers as the government is clearly feeling pressure from the RBNZ QE approach. Look to buy NZD but from cheaper levels, until then... looking to play the retrace lower.

ridethepig | Replacing the defence in NZ YieldsComparing NZ 10Y Yield with AU 10Y Yield we can see the divergence opening up. The local stories in NZ are looking a lot worse than in Australia for now, depriving the NZ 10Y Yield of completing the base formation.
On the currency side, the strategic link between AUD and NZD is being threatened by AUD breaking up and flirting to complete the leg towards 1.12 - something we have been tracking since June:
On the technical flows, the NZ10Y can sweep 0.5% comfortably, where it would be then able to replace the current defence with a more solid structure for a move back towards 1.0%. Thus the 🔑 to answering direction for NZ10Y comes only with more time elapsing.
NZDUSD sometimes is too fast and too high.... Selling some...Hello,
Commodity currencies are the greatest beneficiary of "unlimited" printing all around the world.
GDP from NZ weak, RBNZ cautious, and the chart "says" if not here, where?
Selling inside the zone 0.6730 / 80 (scaling?)
Stop above 0.6820
1st target: 0.6525
Second target: 0.6375
Good luck
ridethepig | NZDJPY Market Commentary 2020.08.15So much for the round of chart updates...@ridethepig has been taking some time off this summer to prepare for a very busy September onwards.
📌 NZDJPY retrace swing is running out steam at the 69.9x / 70.0x highs. While risk remains in the background despite the political fairy-dust, the urge to park capital in the Yen has been maintained but for how much longer?
A dovish RBNZ has provided us with a freeing move to the 59.5x lows with a clear direction from foreign asset purchases and -ve rates coming.
=> Firstly think of the curious circumstances we are looking at when analysing the global macro outlook. The blockade set via inflation and Yields usually turns out to be a severe recession in all respects:
=> Secondly the momentum is building and confirming the likely sustainability of the NZD outflows and JPY inflows as a double whammy. Positive momentum is coughing after six weeks of chop, this all embracing struggle, is only a means to an end.
Remember the importance to strive for mobility, when your central bank confirms its lust to expand the overdraft and buy anything that moves overseas is always sending the currency in one direction. Also for those particularly interested in the region and given the divergence with positive Aussie macro data overnight, it’s no surprise to see AUDNZD continue the grind higher.
Sooner or later the NZD capitulation will show itself in NZDJPY and the leg towards 59.5x has appeared. Invalidation in the board will come via a sustained breach above 73.3x.

ridethepig | Dovish RBNZ Pricing & Commodity Shortages📍 RBNZ formula
So what are we trading here?
In this position it would be an obvious mistake to not acknowledge risk sentiment worsening over the weekend as cases continue to escalate, clearly the market is exposed to the storm (that is to say the series of localised lockdowns are a done-deal, the only question remains whether it becomes more widespread).
On the monetary side, the correct flow to shelter from if things materially worsen (sadly looks inevitable) is the dovish RBNZ. After the latest meetings they have opened the window for a game changer on the stimulus front coming in August (via lowering domestic borrowing costs).
Consider the situation on the AUD side of the equation: Commodity shortages are entering back into play via the Covid shock which is a prelude towards the monetary crisis. Gold, Iron Ore, Copper and etc all look set for further advance; it will keep the basis for some action to the topside in AUD via collateral. Here tracking closely 0.677x in AUDUSD and 0.637x in NZD as the line in sand for the cross. Look to ride AUDNZD up towards the 1.12 macro targets.
As usual thanks all for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎
ridethepig | EURNZD Trade of the Week📌 In spite of the overshoots to the downside, what we are trading here is a sacrifice... the 'sad tale of the last seller'.
I love it when sellers go overboard.
Threatening to breakdown, without realising the RBNZ has opened the August window for more free money and NZD devaluation via purchases.
The euro occupies the throne in G10 which the dollar has vacated.. We all have our eyes on unity on the fiscal side, and a change of scenery!
The euro continues its dance. The purpose of this move is to put into action the debt mutualisation / consolidation. But the move versus USD is becoming more difficult as risk approaches the horizon via Covid.
In any case... time for a nice late breakfast while positioning in a dangerous situation.

ridethepig | NZD Market Commentary 2020.07.02📍 NZDUSD : NFP Positional Play
This is an example of an erroneous defence. In similar style to that of the GBPUSD position, the highs 0.652x can be defended, since it unlocks an impulsive position which is somewhat cramped via RBNZ adding more free money to the pot.
Buyers attempt at breaching the highs should be opposed, we have risk in play via Covid and Brexit, not to mention bankruptcies around the globe skyrocketing. Dark clouds on the horizon despite how the politicians attempt to sell re-openings as 'independence'. NZD and High beta FX will struggle to rally as long as the market is still concerned about further lockdowns in Australia as NZ will follow their lead. Tracking the same “lines in the sand” with 0.677x AUDUSD and 0.637x NZDUSD.
⚡️ US DATA PREVIEW: Primary Dealer Nonfarm Payroll estimates
- RBC 8.0mn - Natwest 7.2mn
- Citi 5.5mn - Morgan Stanley 5.285mn
- BNP Paribas 4.5mn - Goldman Sachs 4.25mn
- HSBC 4.0mn - Scotiabank 4.0mn
- TD 4.0mn - SocGen 3.9mn
- BMO 3.5mn - Wells Fargo 3.3mn
- Credit Suisse 3.0mn - JPMorgan 3.0mn

- Barclays 2.0mn - Jefferies 1.95mn
- Nomura 1.5mn - UBS 1.5mn
- Dealer Median: 3.4mn
=> So if we can sum up by saying, RBNZ is preventing NZD of moving higher and is of greatest important when considering a macro positional flow. On the other hand, USD seems more appropriate as a place to park until the storm passes. What we are talking about is outguessing extreme risk for the long weekend with the NFP knee-jerk flow. A very advanced and extremely bold call.
