NZDJPY ENTERING LONG NOW!!This setup on NDJPY looks like a fantastic long opportunity worth trying to catch a great bunch of pips. 1. Over the last weeks it has been following a downtrend, due to the strength that the JPY undertook, caused by economic uncertainty, US-China conflicts, and the RBNZ even lowering further interest rates. 2. However, since the start of september, we can see how this pair has started to gain strength, recovering from the losses and pushing heavily to the upside. 3. This is due to greater optimism in future US-China coversations, causing JPY to loose that strength it had gained. 4. Technically, looking at this daily chart, we can see how price has been able to break to the upside the monthly resistance (now monthly support). Looking at the 4h chart, price retested this zone before pushing again to the upside, signalling us that price could come back again to retest again that monthly resistance around 72.650 - 74.300. We have a very juicy 1:3.5 risk-reward ratio. Tp: where the next monthly resistance zone starts, around 72.650 Sl: around 68.360 GOOD LUCK!!

Calling CHFJPY shorts soonCHFJPY shorts could be soon activated. Stay patient and lets explain the upcoming opportunity: 1. We are able to observe that since september 21 2018 a downward trend has been forming, being respected at every touch. This shows us that the trend is clear, not looking for anything else rather than shorts. 2. Price managed to break the weekly resistance, retesting it and falling with strength to touch the next weekly support. 3. Since then, price has been consolidating between these 2 zones , respecting the downward trendline. 4. Finally, last week price broke the weekly support (now weekly resistance), so what we are expecting is a retest of this zone to recover from this strong selling. After this, we would like to see a 4 hour, or, preferably a daily, bearish engulfing candle to confirm our entry. Patience is key guys. Fundamentally we see a week CHF due to certain aspects of its economy weakening and a strong JPY due to safe haven flows during the last weeks due to global uncertainty. Stop loss: slightly above latest daily lower high, around 108.500-108.550 Take profit: monthly support, around 103.600

Navigating The Market : Simplified #EURJPY Sept 2nd, 2019The EURJPY had been in a bearish trend. The Yen had been bid due to safe-haven flows thanks to Trump and China trade war. I also believe what is happening in Hong Kong does play it's part as well. Retail sentiment generally bearish on the Yen. The first thing happened after the Sydney open was price managed to break below and closed under last Friday's low (coincided with last week's low as well), followed by a bullish version of a dark cloud cover candlestick pattern (I genuinely forgot what its actually called!). There are plenty of sell stops recorded around the prices between 115.850 to 116.350. I looked at the order books, great % amount of opened buy positions there at 116.650 (the close price of that bullish candle), which I suspect 116.350 price is the averaged stop-loss price (Stoploss is a sell stop for a buy position, vice versa) Sell orders above market price right now, which logically would be the place for everyone to put their sell stops as well as bearish continuation trade. That's too obvious for me and I bet the institutionals would take advantage of that and take the other side of the trade. Look, it could happen (price reverses at 117.00-117.150, but trading is a numbers game, my personal record of statistics suggest it has higher probability that the price would just break that sell stops above market price) My game plan is to scalp a long trade if price taps into the sell stop around 116.350 to 115.580. If price continues to go up (without going down further at 116-115.xx) and respects the sell stop at 117.150-117.00, I will re-adjust my plan as that would be the classic continuation pattern for the underlying bearish trend. I do however anticipating the sell stops at 117.xx to be consumed and the price goes higher towards previous Friday's high. I will look to short if/when that happens. A further move higher right now ((without going down further at 116-115.xx) would be too bad because I want to Long EURJPY short term (because, as I've mentioned above, I am bullish Yen - in other words, bearish EURJPY) but i'm more comfortable if it taps into the liquidity pool.

EURJPY (CROSS) Likely To Decline Further Towards 114.00 Level!The main chart represents the weekly TF of EURJPY pair currently seen trapped in a well respected descending channel. The horizontal lines represent support and resistance levels taken from the monthly charts. A few weeks ago the 120.00 level was clearly breached and the price has continued to slide towards the next support (114.00). A close of Monthly candle below 120.00 would increase the confluence for a further fall. Its advisable to wait until the beginning of the next monthly candle so as to enter this trade with RR set at 1:1 and target at 114.00. Currently i am already shorting the EURO against the FRANC. These two pairs are highly correlated because the EURO is paired with both SAFEHAVEN currencies. Therefore to prevent double risk exposure, i would personally Not take this trade. However for those of you who are not shorting the EURO or LONG on the YEN, you can take this trade at your own risk. All in all, this is a very high probability setup and a quality one too.

Navigating the Market : Simplified #USD #CHFFriday low was broken coincided with an equal low few days before (check your own charts), if i was on my trading desk when that happen (price tapping in the green zone I marked) and my personal trading system triggers a Long signal, i would've been in.. well, it fits my criteria to enter a trade.(again, you would argue hindsight analysis.. but AGAIN, you mark these kind of levels in any pair, you would see it happen very often.. not always.. but very often.. and that is enough for me to be able to simply navigate the market without guessing work (which is bad in trading) That little retracement during NY session started with bearish engulfing candle. Reversal traders would have latched onto that with a short trade believing its time to enter a trade into the continuation bearish move started on the previous Friday. Personally I would ignore that bearish engulfing candle because I couldn't see any stacks of retail buy orders (and by right, we would be already in a Long trade anyway) What is interesting however, that little retracement was tested again the next day and formed the Tuesday Low (which for me is a significant price information). If theres equal lows on these day's low, then I qualify it as a valid potential liquidity pool. Everthing else after that is self explanatory (and i'm generally a lazy person.. writing this takes a lot of effort for me) /** This is not an entry & exit based trading strategy

SAFEHAVEN Demand Would Likely Propel YELLOW METAL To $1750.00!Last year it was highly anticipated that the yellow metal would break the years long held trading range and make a new high. Well all that is unraveling pretty quickly to say the least, as the trade war enters its second year with no end in sight. The two year long and ongoing trade war between the worlds two largest economies has led to fear of recession in the U.S as the yield curve inversion getting deeper and deeper. In EUROPE (germany) a technical recession has already happened with the manufacturing activity declining two consecutive times. Trump is hell bent on reducing imports from china and making the USD weak for more competitiveness in regards to exports. The FED is already feeling the pressure of the tradewar but they keep insisting that they would keeping use\ing ''wait and see approach'' for interest rate cut or hold. TRUMP wants the FED to cut rates so as to make the USD weak. Major central banks have already started easing around the globe so as to combat the effects of the trade war with exception of the FED. Markets are pricing in the FED would reduce the rates by 120BP by end of 2020 but as of the moment the U.S economy seems to be in a pretty good state and FED are pleased with the current interest rates. However with the trade war's no end in sight, the U.S economy might start to loose steam and print negative/declining data in the coming months. If this happens the FED will start easing making the USD plunge against the SAFEHAVEN pairs. Many like to BUY and HOLD the USD because of its SAFEHAVEN status, therefore even if the FED cuts the interest rate to boost the economy in the future, the USD would not fall that much unless the economic data keeps on declining or a recession happens! Other SAFEHAVENS include the JPY &CHF currencies. These two FX currencies are the go to when RISK OFF mood dominates the market . However there is a catch behind buying and holding these two currencies. The central banks of both these countries (SNB & BOJ) prefer their currency to remain weak so as to keep their exports cheap and competitive. For this reason the central banks of both these FX currencies observe and act if needed to keep the currency from sliding or appreciating too much. All in all the go to SAFEHAVEN currencies have limited gain as their central banks tends to intervene. Talking about the YELLOW METAL, Who has the power to intervene here? practically no one,as its purely based on supply and demand characteristics and due to this there is a high potential of appreciation for yellow metal in RISK OFF environment. Since the beginning of the year, the price has sky rocketed and there is still a very likely high chance that it would keep climbing upwards. A better and safer way to trade this precious metal is step by step based on breach of certain resistance levels and the fundamental outlook of the health of global economy. Here in the main chart we see can the green horizontal lines which represent resistance levels and red horizontal lines which represent support, drawn from the monthly charts. Currently the price is stopped climbing at 1550.00 which is a concrete resistance yet to be broken on monthly TF. Should 1550.00 break (the monthly candle close above 1550.00) the next target would be 1750.00. Its looking highly likely that this level would be broken, at the moment the price is in consolidative phase as there is a hope of a trade deal looming. But markets are too smart to believe TRUMP and CHINA! Because just like before,this period represents the CALM before the STORM. In the coming weeks we would be able to see how are the negotiations proceeding and is a disagreement likely to happen again or not? unless a complete trade deal is struck and held by each side, we could see the yellow metal ascend pretty fast to 1750.00 and potentially beyond. For this particular scenario, we need to wait for the monthly candle to close above 1550.00 and then its safe and suggested to go LONG to target 1750.00 This just represents my outlook and analysis on this pair. shall a trade opportunity appear i will post it in a new thread.

USDJPY Weekly TF DEATH CROSS Confirmed! JPY Appreciation LikelyWhat is a Death Cross? The death cross is a technical chart pattern indicating the potential for a major selloff. The death cross appears on a chart when a stock/Currency's short-term moving average crosses below its long-term moving average. Typically, the most common moving averages used in this pattern are the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The death cross indicator has proven to be a reliable predictor of some of the most severe bear markets of the past century: 1929, 1938, 1974, and 2008. Investors who got out of the stock market at the start of these bear markets avoided large losses that were as high as 90% in the 1930s. Because a death cross is a long-term indicator, as opposed to many short-term chart patterns such as the doji, it carries more weight for investors concerned about locking in gains before a new bear market gets underway. An increase in volume typically accompanies the appearance of the death cross. Source: www.investopedia.com Now as the definition of this rare EMA crossover has been defined as above, we can technically expect JPY appreciation in the near future, which might be sustained due to many fundamental factors. If this holds right, we could not only see USDJPY Plummet over the coming years but also many JPY related currencies particularly the EURJPY, AUDJPY & NZDJPY. The above snapshot is from USDJPY weekly TF which shows the occurrence of death cross signal, followed by continued decline of the USDJPY and recovery (golden cross). During the whole turmoil and the very start of the financial crisis back then, the death cross gave a strong signal of impending recession! The golden cross in 2013 was the sign of period of recovery in the markets as risk appetite returned and GOLD fell from multi year tops. A week ago the death cross has happened again. In the main chart as it could be seen, the EMA used are 50 and 200. A crossover has already been confirmed at this point, but ask yourself this; could this be a beginning of a long term downtrend? The answer to this question lies in the fundamental factors that are currently dictating the markets. The major factor here which is held accountable is the TRADE WAR!. For past one year this battle between the world's two largest economy has been going on with no end in sight, Furthermore things just seems to get worse as TRUMP is hell bent on reducing china imports into the U.S. The trade war has lead to the following things which has completely reshaped the financial markets: 1) U.S yield curve inversion has sparked the fear of recession forcing many to retreat to safehavens 2) Global slowdown resulting from the trade war, has forced many central banks to start an easing cycle of cutting interests rates 3) TRUMP is forcing The FED to cut interest rates aggressively in order to make USD weak and boost the economy FED has now completely changed their course to easing with predictions coming for a 120BP cuts by the of 2020. Should the FED cut rates to support the economy from a possible recession we could see the USDJPY plummet whereas should they keep defying TRUMP and hold the rates steady or cut less, we could see this pair being stubborn to drop. All in all its looking more likely that the FED would keep easing slowly which would see JPY appreciate. In other perspective, A global slowdown would hit NZD, AUD & EUR to such an extent that the JPY would gain stronger ground against all these three pairs compared to any other currency. This is just my outlook on the JPY futures based on current and past fundamentals and as of now all things are pointing towards JPY appreciation. A trade entry could only be made based on technical picture in correlation with the fundamental one. Currently the price is held within a long term triangle, once breached we could make an entry and aim for 101.00. Shall there be any updates i will provide them in a new thread. cheers

FED Rate Cut Outlook & TradeWar May Take SAFEHAVEN YEN TO 105.00INSTANT ENTRY AT AROUND: 107.350 LEVEL POSITION TYPE: SHORT STOP LOSS: 109.500 TAKE PROFIT: 105.00 RR: 1:1 SHALL THERE BE ANY UPDATES I WILL PROVIDE THEM IN THE THREAD BELOW. BENEATH YOU CAN FIND THE ANALYSIS BEHIND THIS TRADE SETUP As seen from the main chart, the weekly TF shows the price respected by a long term held triangle (black lines). The blue line represents another concrete trendline which was broken as the weekly candle closed comfortably outside the trendline. As of now the next support that lies is present at 105.00 level where the main triangle's lower trendline is present. So we can expect the price to make its way to that level in the coming weeks. On the fundamental perspective, the prospect of US interest rate cut has already sent the greenback tumbling against all major currencies. USDJPY is the most sensitive pairs of them all. Inevitably the FED would cut the interest this year and it might be two times potentially! although this event has not been priced in at 100% in the markets, the coming weeks may seem to reveal further USD weakness as the prospect of eventual rate cut gets priced in! Additionally, the trade war is not helping the greenback either against the yen, as any negative news or developments seems to favor traders rushing for safehaven yen. As said the coming weeks are crucial and will show clear picture as to where the price headed but at the moment the technical and fundamental picture are both in our favor.

GOLD (SAFE TRADES)In the coming future, I believe there will be a huge recession WORLDWIDE. Probably the worst one & Gold will be one of the best if not the best assets to invest in & trade. Practically every nation is in debt; look it up. The government has debt, people have debt, but this debt keeps on being covered up. For example, debts like student loans, personal debts, mortgage debts, credit card debts, it all adds up. When debts aren't paid, who pays it? What you think Banks and them man do? naahhh. I'm telling you. A collapse is coming.

BTCUSD Possible Incoming ReversalFundamentally speaking in the long run, BTC like gold and other assets treated as risk-haven now will continue to increase in value if market continues to be risk-off esp with trade "talks" going nowhere and "rumored" recession coming within 2-3 years. But technical-wise, there's highly probable reversal soon at least in the short-run (within this month only) like what I'm seeing in metals esp if DXY forces its way up to 100 and equities start recovering from last Monday's correction. Weekly: Gold: Silver: DXY: Confidence: B (bec this is not aligned with fundamentals and possibility of getting whipsawed, better to wait for the next "tail" to appear before shorting, or set a more conservative sell stop order below 12000 after bearish confirmation candles appear)

Silver continues to push higherSilver markets rallied again during trading on wednesday reaching above the $17 dollar level during the U.S. market session. There is fear in the markets at the moment with three (3) Asian central banks cutting interest rates overnight (New Zealand, India and Thailand) which suggests this is a coordinated move. The global economy is certainly slowing down, suggesting we could be entering in to another global financial crisis and the safe haven for investors is precious metals and more recently - Bitcoin. We are already in a retracement from the latest high which has bounced from the 38% fib retracement zone. Price should now push up once more and our target is around the 17.60 level

Gold continues to push higher as investors safeguard Portfolio'sGold - 4Hr - As with todays Silver trade idea, Gold is the safe haven when there is uncertainty in the markets. We have seen price push up over recent weeks and we don't think today will be any different. Yesterday we reached a high around the 1500 level. There is still room for the price to retrace to around the 38% retracement level, however we should then see the price on the move once more, following the trend. Our low is around 1490 which is also our entry point and our next target around 1535.

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.
