Rbnz

NZD/USD Outrageously OverBought NZD's newfound strength is artificial for the most part. Let's analyze: New Zealand's GDP report showed to be better than expected, but let's put that into perspective. In Q2, their GDP was revised down and you want to convince me that this 0.7% quarter growth is significant. The yearly GDP growth is still on a convincing downtrend. Many Banks still have the RBNZ down as giving a rate cut at the start of the year. Inflation is not where they want it to be. Yes, the trade war is making progress which is a natural provider of currency strength to the NZD. However, this is not enough substance to justify the strength of the current bull run. The ridiculousness is showcased in the RSI(14) which is showing 2-year highs. Expecting a sharp decline at the start of the trading week. Disclaimer: I am not your financial advisor.

ridethepig | Looking at AUDNZD from 40,000ftOn the AUD side, RBA crystal clear about conditions needed for further easing and unlikely in the near-term. Unemployment overshooting may be the start of a round of good data for AUD which will keep the RBA on hold meaning markets will need to price out all of those betting on a RBA Feb rate cut. On the NZD side, RBNZ slightly hawkish surprise in the last meeting and see a lot of NZD shorts left that that need unwinding. Although into year-end NZD also spiking higher but rather than from good data it was with a positional squeeze into 0.66xx before running out of steam. With that in mind I see both AUD and NZD as bullish vs USD but AUD has more room to outperform if data holds: A “ Royal Flush ” for us and the Commodity Currencies. As widely mentioned yesterday, stronger AUD employment data sending AUDUSD flying towards the 0.69xx handle: I am looking to close longs at 0.695x which is still the same level in play from the larger swing into year-end: For those holding since October when we loaded the breakup we will have to wait till 2020 to clear final targets: For the AUD macro map: For the NZD macro map: As usual thanks for keeping the support coming with likes, comments, questions and etc! Feel free to jump into the conversations in the comments with your views/charts. If we get enough interest we will have a round of Fixed Income chart updates coming for AU and NZ.

Buying AUDNZD Aggressively !!A timely update to the previous AUDNZD weekly chart and after completing the initial selloff we are set for a major leg to the topside. Before we dig into the Fundamental and Technical side I recommend for those following to start by reviewing the previous charts to understand how and why we are trading the lows: On the AUD side, markets are pricing an RBA move in Q120 with 50bps cut 60% priced in. Should see some unwinding for those outguessing a surprise like we did with RBNZ. Australian surpluses is providing a mattress to AUD as the historically low yield pick-up is allows deficits to be financed. Perhaps what is most interesting of all and highlights the underlying shift towards the USD devaluation / reflationary theme comes from real money managers who have started to take profits on their AUD shorts after RBA delivered in June & July are once again reaching extremes and ready to unwind again. On the NZD side, NZD is not expected to outperform AUD however the housing market is showing signs of strength as collateral from AUD. Markets have reduce further the over pricing of RBNZ cuts, which is what has supported NZD in the short-medium term. For the fiscal side, we had highlights going overnight to NZ announcing a big round of fiscal spending. Markets have since gone overboard selling AUDNZD. In any case, here is the NZDUSD map for 2020: For the technicals I am tracking an impulsive swing to the highs after markets completed plumbing the 1.03xx lows via NZ fiscal flows (a mouthful). Those with a background in waves will know we have market the lows in a multi year 5 wave sequence which we traded live here: ….and can lean on the AUD macro directional side: Lastly for those following NZDCAD and AUDCAD flows are sitting comfortably in profits and can let the rest run for our final targets: Best of luck all those trading the lows and buying dips.

ridethepig | NZD Market Commentary 2019.12.18Here we go for an active NY session ahead of an important set of macro numbers for NZ this evening. I am tracking one further leg to the downside in Dollar to end the year at 96: This is a very powerful USD devaluation flow we are trading here and markets have been short NZD for most of the year; with these two things in mind I am expecting a squeeze into 0.66xx handle again with good or bad data this evening. We should also have a helping hand from AUD positive employment data to put the icing on the cake. For those wanting more clarity on the macro forces in play here are the long-term DXY and NZD charts: As usual thanks for keeping the support coming with likes, comments, questions and etc!

ridethepig | NZD 2020 Macro MapA good time to update the roadmap for NZDUSD as we enter into the final chapter of 2019. The market has been heavily short NZDUSD all year, pricing in further cuts from RBNZ, the anticipation of a dovish CB was short-circuited and we are starting to see a reduction in their short positions. This was evident in my previous post: From a strictly macro perspective, NZD is not expected to outperform however the housing market is showing signs of strength as collateral from AUD. I see room for markets to reduce further the over pricing of RBNZ cuts, which will support NZD in the short-medium term. On the USD side, as widely mentioned here and in the Telegram channel, USD weakness is reaching out theatres and will be even more evident in high-beta currencies like NZD. Those following will also know I am long NZD crosses, NZDCAD continues to make a lot of sense with CAD longs being unwound after the dovish BoC. Important to note 

key risks to this trade come from unexpected RBNZ intervention. Good luck all those planning FX trades into 2020. The environment is going to become increasingly difficult as investors position around US election risks, my 2020 FX outlook reports along with other strategy research in the coming weeks. 2020 is setting up for fireworks on the FX board with expectations and valuations starting to diverge and with late cycle concerns creeping back in through the back door to put the cherry on top. For those interested can send a PM on Tradingview.

ridethepig | AUDNZD Market Commentary 2019.11.29Here we are tracking further downside in the cross as NZD strength continues across the board before AUD takes the wheel in 2020. Among the commodity currencies, NZD stands out the most into year-end and those following the macro updates in Telegram and charts will know I have also been sitting long NZDCAD, with a dovish BoC and RBNZ 'hawkish' surprise there continues to be further upside: For AUDNZD flows, for the most part of 2019 the market has been heavily short NZD, and the NZD short cleansing pullback is likely to continue if regional growth and trade improves. Watching risk sentiment closely, with AUDJPY and NZDJPY coming to life intraday and with the power to drive the commodity currencies on other crosses. On the AUD side, RBA crystal clear about conditions needed for further easing and unlikely in the near-term. On the NZD side, RBNZ slightly hawkish surprise in the last meeting and see a lot of NZD shorts left that that need unwinding. With that in mind I see both AUD and NZD as bullish vs USD: As previously mentioned, confidence for those betting on the topside has increased dramatically after cracking 1.0620, watch closely for follow-throughs here into 2020 after the NZD outperformance theme fades away. Best of luck those already in positions and those looking to build swing positions into 2020. ...Please remember to keep the support coming with likes and comments!

Kiwi underperforms as investors bet that RBNZ will cut rates oveExpectations at time of writing, drawn from short-term rate futures, imply an 80% chance that the RBNZ cut of a -25 bps on Wednesday, with the rest of the 20% attributed to a hold. Although inflation has subsided, the softening employment situation and weak business confidence suggest that further easing is warranted, a decline in NZD and an improvement in the housing market may allow politicians to stay out this month. We believe that even if RBNZ leaves interest rates unchanged, the continuing uncertainty in the region should keep the bank dovish and the risk for NZD is downside. After that though, the currency’s direction will depend on the signals about future easing. If the RBNZ holds the interest rate, it can catch many people unprepared and this would probably be the most bullish scenario for the NZD pairs. In that case we can see NZD/USD to test 0.6400 resistance. If the interest rate is reduced (as expected), but still the bank refrain from being overly dovish, then it could print a minor rebound. With a dovish cut, we can see a break below $ 0.6320. Purely technically, NZD/USD has been trading in a downward price channel since early November on the four-hour chart. The channel model was formed on November 4. Earlier this morning, the NZD tested the 0.6365 resistance zone formed by the upper trend line of the bearish channel and the 200-day EMA on the four-hour chart, but stepped back. If this resistance area continues to hold, then intraday signals remain in favor of the bears and we can watch the trade continue within the downside channel before the decision tomorrow.

NZDJPY double bottomTonight RBNZ is cutting the base rate from 1.00% to 0.75% at 1am GMT. This way it will have the same rate as RBA and BOE. A good downtrend line and level 70 create resistance and a buy signal, if the level breaks. Divergence on RSI shows a double bottom formation. Target bellow level 73. Earlier entry before the break of the line is more aggressive and risky but provides better risk reward. There is a danger of being caught in volatility once the rates come out. Alternatively a move to the down side is possible if NZD sells off on the rate cut. Share your thoughts on the NZD rate cut! Good Luck!

KIWI Likely to Test 0.62500 level After Support Break!Hello Viewers, this is an instant trade signal! Therefore, please have a look at the main chart for the following vital trade details: • ENTRY POINT • STOP LOSS • TAKE PROFIT • RISK TO REWARD The setup may look simple but I can assure you it is NOT. There are various in depth technical and fundamental analysis incorporated behind the execution. I would very much love to explain these two aspects here but doing that would consume ample amount of time which could affect the appropriate entry point behind this trade! So, to keep it simple the main chart just displays the simplified technical view of this trade. My way of performing technical analysis basically starts by breaking down the monthly Timeframe down until the One Hour charts. The following are the aspects I focus most on when performing technical analysis: • Draw Support & Resistance through key common psychological levels on M & W Charts. This helps me to see where the price might stall or breakout. • Draw Trendlines to determine the dynamic support and resistance levels present on the charts. This helps me to determine where the price might stall and most importantly help determine the path of least resistance behind the active trade. • I also tend to use EMA 50 on all the Timeframes. This EMA 50 is proficiently proven to act as dynamic support and resistance and is vital behind all my analysis. • Lastly, I tend to use classic pivot levels to determine my entry, stop loss and take profit levels. The combination of this and all of the above helps me determine the precise and likely trade targets behind the setup. Another aspect of my way of analysis is reading a lot of news to determine the fundamental aspects affecting any trade. After the technical analysis is performed, I tend to match if the fundamental aspect really supports my technical analysis. Therefore, as you could see, putting all my thoughts here would surely take up a lot of time which could make the price drift away from the entry price thus affecting the Risk to reward ratio. I understand it is vital for many of you to know the details behind this trade setup, and so if you are interested you could send me message and I will try to share most of what I can! The Above words are just template I use in all my trades. Shall there be any updates I will provide them here. Thank you

EUR/NZD SELLERS GAINING STRENGTH!Hi traders, you may have noticed our EUR/NZD idea from a few days ago. I am glad to say that we took the trade which is now in significant profit. The triple bottom / fake breakout pattern showed to hold, pushing the price lower almost 200 pips. The apparent economic slowdown in the Eurozone didn't help either to stop the fall. Notice the triple bearish divergence in the RSI, which confirmed our bearish bias and highlighted the reversal potential of the fake breakout.

Falling Wedge - Bullish Divergence - BUYHello traders, The NZDUSD has created a descending wedge signalling a potential reversal. There is a bullish divergence on the RSI signalling upside. The USD Index has also reached a sell zone - Check DXY Index The RBNZ held interest rates steady which could provide strength back into the NZD. We will look to buy from the double bottom (check weekly charts) targeting the 0.6400-0.6500 levels on the upside. Please let us know your thoughts.

Navigating The Market : Simplified #AUD NZD 2nd Sept 19The AUDNZD had been in a bullish trend since price bounced off at 1.0280 on 6th August 2019. That bullish move day followed by a massive price expansion the vary next day (230 pips!) thanks to RBNZ cutting their rates from 1.25% to 1.00%. NZD had been in a massive sell off across the board since then. Retail sentiment on NZD however, remains bullish NZD. Indeed, retail sentiment is looking for that reversal- believing the marked have priced in the RBNZ move. Never a good idea. I am bearish on the NZD due to the following three things : 1) I am (trying) a contrarian trader. I generally look to trade the other side of the general retail sentiment. NZD is heavily bid in retail, so I am keen to be the in the other side (this is too simplistic and binary, I know. This is not the only parameter that influences my bias) 2) Simply look at the chart, we are in an uptrend. Stick a long term moving average there (50MA, 60MA, 67MA, 82MA, 86MA etc etc), price is trading well above that. It is tempting to trade reversal after a long trend, picking tops (and bottoms if its in a bearish trend). I am somewhat a trend following trader, discretionary. At the moment, its not the optimal time to think of shorting AUDNZD. 3) The monthly range and weekly range was reached and exceeded. Now, usually, when this happens I would shift my short term bias to a reversal mode - as liquidity "dries out" and it would the time for the banks to take profit but I believe it was due to the fundamental factor (RBNZ cutting rates), so I will maintain my sentiment bias for now. 4)I believe there will be liquidity run this week between 1.0700 to 1.07300. Plenty of potential retail buy stops there, oceans of them. Liquidity Pools are like magnets. My plan, since I am bearish NZD, is to long AUDNZD when the usual stop hunts have been completed. I expect a stop hunt (another form of liquidity run) at 1.06500-1.06350 in the downside and then I will find a trigger to long AUDNZD. Alternatively, if the price goes up first and tap around 1.0700, I would have to assume its for trapping breakout traders and then they will take their stoploss out at 1.06500-1.06350 - in which by then, I will be looking to long AUDNZD from there. If price continues through without touching the liquidity pool coincided at theFriday low, then I will stay on the sidelines and re-adjust my plan.

NZDUSD Likely To Decline Further Towards 61 Cents! Have a look at the snapshot above. It represents the nearby support and resistance levels on monthly TF of NZDUSD. A convincing close of monthly candle below 0.64000 would likely confirm probable bearish continuation until 0.61000 where the next support lies. Looking at the main chart, there is a nice descending channel continuation! Should the monthly candle and this week's candle close below 0.64000 we can take this pair SHORT to target 0.61000 level. The fundamental outlook too is against the KIWI as global slowdown due to trade war is affecting the KIWI. With the Tradewar far from over and RBNZ leaning towards slashing rates again to boost the economy, a visit to 0.61000 is highly likely. This just represents my outlook on this pair, shall a trade opportunity arise i will post it in a new thread.

Go Short as NZDUSD Pullback Reaches Supply Zone - Good risk-off opportunity as NZDUSD pullback after larger-than-expected rate cut by RBNZ - Kiwi to be pressured by trade war - In contrast to the RBNZ, the Fed was not as dovish as expected This week we saw the RBNZ delivering a 0.5% rate cut, 0.25% more than what the market had estimated, and said that rates might go into negative territory. The kiwi plunged across the board but still managed to rebound slightly despite such surprise. But with such a shock and dovish message, I think it is hard for this pullback to sustain. Furthermore, trade tensions are apparently worsening since last week. This will add more downside pressure to risk-on currencies (AUD & NZD). On the other hand, the Fed delivered a mixed message last week which was not as dovish as anticipated. Until further news is released regarding the Fed's stance on rates, NZDUSD should continue its march downwards to around 0.6380-90.

Gold new all-time high in NZD termsThanks for viewing, After last weeks unexpectedly deep 50 basis point cut by the RBNZ the NZD has lost ground against USD www.ft.com Against a back-drop of a very bullish gold/USD price this has resulted in gold breaking its 2011 all time high. I get the feeling that the a new monetary easing policy (QE4?) is around the corner from the Fed, so we are at the start of a new easing cycle. If we are at 1% rates (this is a negative real interest rate. Inflation is 1.9% presently tradingeconomics.com) at the start of an easing cycle, then negative (nominal - not just interest rates below inflation) interest rates are a very real possibility. We may be approaching a time in New Zealand that it will be much more prudent to keep your cash in a safe, instead of paying banks to hold it for you. This happened in Japan and can happen in Australia and New Zealand as well: www.scmp.com Remember that the RBNZ holds no precious metals (bulk sold in 1960s and the balance sold in 1991) and all of its assets are foreign currency cash assets www.rbnz.govt.nz Expect all of those cash assets to reduce in real purchasing power while gold continues to climb. Protect those funds everyone.

Opportunity Knocks For The NZDJPYWith global equities continuing to be supported by favorable liquidity conditions and little else, it was really just a matter of time before risk assets came under more pressure. The biggest red flag was flying in the bonds market, where global bonds have continued to rally sending yields sharply lower. Equities rallying strong along with bonds is not sustainable, and considering slowing global growth, trade conflicts, and political unrest risk assets have appeared the most vulnerable. The constant flows into bonds highlights the increasing uncertainty and demand for safety. The current equities decline started when the Fed disappointed doves with only a 25bp cut, delivered with a neutral statement. The decline was accelerated by news of new tariffs that will be imposed on China by the Trump administration. This sparked a sell off of risk assets, and flows into safe havens such as JPY and CHF. The USD missed the boat this go around partly due to the unwinding of the EURUSD carry trade caused by the quick spike in volatility. There were also some EM factors that contributed to the USD decline, but those are outside the scope of what we are trying to convey here. After all, we are here for the NZDJPY. NZD is a high beta currency strongly tied to the performance of the global economy. It is also directly impacted by the US-China trade conflict, just like its cousin the AUD. Today the RBNZ surprised the market by cutting 50bp (market was expecting 25bp). Soft inflation expectations wiped out any positive the currency picked up on strong employment figures yesterday, business confidence remains very poor, and the RBNZ has even floated the idea of unconventional monetary policy. All of these things should keep the NZD weak over the medium term. On the technical side, we have now traded through key monthly support, which should now serve as a barrier for any rally attempts. Over the coming months we are looking for continued declines towards 65.00 and then 62.00.

NZDUSD H1|RBNZ Forecast|NZDUSD H1 With RBNZ interest rate decision coming close (August 6/7) , We should be expecting tons of volatility in NZD pairs. ============================================== What we already know: NZD is likely to cut rates given the fact that a sell off had already happened. The effects are already priced in. The interest rate however, is going to have some bullish momentum in the initial release before a further rally downwards is achievable. ================================================ Marked out 2 simple zones where price can go to with the initial spike. Place 2 sell orders respectively. One or both may trigger. Risk management is important. Will update. ==============================================
