USDZAR trade ideas

Rand pre-budget speech and Fed rate decisionOur local unit currently remains in the range between 18.80 and 19.12. We need to see a breakout of this range to determine what direction the rand will take but for now the rand remains at the mercy of swings in investor sentiment. The dance with the 50-day MA at 18.95 will continue this week and a negative tone from the Treasury budget and continued global risk-off investor sentiment following the Fed rate announcement, will strengthen the 50-day MA support. One positive factor which could allow the rand to test the 200-day MA at 18.53, is the recent strong performance of platinum but I don't see a major move below this support rate for the rand at the moment.

USDZAR-RANGE SELL strategy Daily chartThe pair is currently near 4-bottom area, which currently is around 18.7600. Lower we have GANN support @ 18.4500. Resistance is @ 19.1700 (trend line) and 19.40 GANN resistance. Gold is likely to move lower and this will help the pair to move back up a bit. the case look like a range trade, and I feel preference to be SELL, even though for those willing could argue BUY near support level @ 18.7600. Strategy SELL @ 19.0100-19.0700 and place SL @ 19.2200 for now. Profit order near support 18.7600.

USDZAR-NEUTRAL 4-Hourly chartOne would have been able to get out near enough profit objective @ 19.25-19.27 or on the revised SL 9.13 handle. I did the first one @ 19.2650. Thereafter, I did not have clear view and it collapsed to current 18.9000. I feel the move lower has been to quick, even though we are below triangle support, and negative stochastic, I would prefer to stay out for now on this pair. We monitor it for a few days again. The NOKZAR SL was also hit due to the fact that the USDZAR collapsed.

The Depreciating Sout African RandFundamentals: Deteriorating economic-fundamentals for the South African Rand: "It's a futile exercise trying to defend the exchange rate," says the South African Central Bank governor. He won't defend the depreciating rand. According to Reuters, Kganyago says that the "bank's main concern remained fighting inflation, reiterating that risks to the inflation outlook included food prices, oil prices and exchange-rate moves." South Africa's consumer inflation "remains comfortably within the central bank's target range of between 3%-6%." The Rand's central bankers meet in November to discuss interest rates.

USD/ZAR check in.The pair is currently dancing with the 50-day MA rate of 18.97, which is a critical rate to watch. A failed break back above the 50-day MA will allow the rand to pull the pair below 18.80 with a possible move lower towards the 200-day MA rate of 18.43. A break above the 50-day MA will however signal another leg higher towards 19.90 for the pair. It’s too early to make a call now but the strength of the current upward channel seems to be fading which is, dare I say it, rand positive. The break below 19.12 is also rand positive as it invalidates the 5-wave impulse.
