USDZAR Long Side Entry PlansUSDZAR has fallen significantly in trend, especially after FED comments yesterday feeding into USD Weakness.
Price arrives at key long zones, with more risk averse areas available below. LZ2 preferred as lower inherent risk.
Entry size will depend on Sentiment at this time.

USDZAR-SELL strategy 3-hourly chartThe market still feels the uncertainty, and that makes it a difficult task to get the direction right. Wwe have had SL executed, but overall, we still should see lower levels. There is no confirmation as yet that we see lower, but the run up from the 17.90s low, shouyld still need some corrective action. The stochastic is high, and turning. so we try again.
Strategy SELL @ 18.5850-18.6350 and place SL above 18.7350 for now and profit let's say @ 18.4350.

USDZAR-SELL strategy 4-hourly chartIts good to be neutral sometimes, especially lot's of uncertainties due to the cabinet formations. The market trades erratic, and it does not have a clear view on where to go.
For now, we see we have move sharply upwards, and feel this may be running out of steam again. the mid-point is somewhere 18.1300-18.1500 I think.
Strategy SELL @ 18.3500-18.4150 and place SL tight above 18.5150 and profit order let's say near 18.1950.

USDZAR-NEUTRAL strategy 4-hourly updateGood am neutral on the pair, and especially a GAP opening that was 18 figures lower. That is a little too difficult to predict, but news of course can drive it anywhere as we know it.
For now I prefer on the side line. It is oversold a bit, and we are still be 18.2250 GANN resistance and overall lower potential. I am not convinced either way and prefer to stay out till it feels we have some direction again.
USDZAR-NEUTRAL strategy 4-hourly chartrThe daily chart showed clearly upside potential, and the 4-hourly chart provided some good and lesser indicative accuracy, but fundamentals like cabinet formations certainly provided the movements sharply either way.
The GANN line interacts now in a tug of war, and its not decisive either way from here. Considering the higher levels seen and were we are at, the chances are seeing slightly higher levels before it will settle again.
Strategy try BUYING near 18.1500-18.1700 area and take quicker profits near 18.4350 and sl lets say 0.75% of investment amount. Otherwise just stay neutral and see what happens from here.
