USDZAR :Market Analysis: Bearish Now, Potentially Bullish at DCurrent Market: Bearish (Downtrend)
The market is currently moving downward from Point C towards Point D, indicating a bearish trend because:
Price movement is consistently heading lower.
A bearish market reflects that sellers are stronger than buyers at this stage.
Point D is located at a critical level, the 127% Fibonacci extension of BC, which is where a potential market reversal (turnaround) is expected.
If the Market Reaches Point D: Bullish (Uptrend)
If the market reverses at Point D, it is expected to shift into a bullish trend:
Reason: The 127% Fibonacci extension level often serves as a zone where sellers lose momentum, and buyers regain control.
An upward move would indicate the market is attempting to reclaim higher levels, such as C or even beyond.
Summary: Expectations for Both Directions
Now: Bearish Trend:
The market is moving downward towards Point D, with sellers currently in control.
If Reversal Happens at Point D: Bullish Trend:
If the price reverses at Point D, the market could shift upward (bullish).
This would mean that buyers have regained control, potentially leading to a steady upward movement.
Overall Insight:
Point D is the key level that will determine the market's direction.
If the price breaks below Point D and continues lower, the bearish trend will persist.
If it reverses at Point D, we can expect the market to turn bullish and move higher
USDZAR-USDX SELL strategy 2D chart The USDZAR as well USDX (and USDCAD not shown) all have something in common. they are over extended (ZAR lesser), but the picture paints a thousand words (famous song). The overall direction feels we see lower USD, and even though on a day to day basis one observes tug of wars, the direction is likely lower for USD.
Strategy SELL USDZAR between 18.7500-18.8750 and take profit near 18.4350 for now.
M and W Trading Strategy: Will USDZAR Go Down From Here?The M and W trading strategy has long been a favorite among price action traders, thanks to its simplicity and effectiveness. These patterns represent moments of reversal where market sentiment shifts from bullish to bearish (M) or bearish to bullish (W).
Today, let’s analyze USDZAR using this strategy. Looking at the chart, there’s a potential “M” forming around a key resistance level. This structure, combined with signs of exhaustion in bullish momentum, hints that a downward move may be on the horizon. The neckline of the M pattern—often a critical support level—becomes the area to watch. A clean break below it could confirm the pattern and signal a short opportunity.
However, as always, context matters. Check for confluences such as higher time frame trends, volume spikes, or rejection candles. Pair this with strong risk management by setting stop-loss levels above the resistance zone and planning your target near the next significant support level.
Final Thought:
Do you think the M pattern on USDZAR will play out, or is the market setting us up for a fake-out? Drop your thoughts below! Let’s dive into this setup together.
USDZAR-SELL strategy 12-hourly chartWe are overbought for the pair and we moved little lower. There is also a "M-top" (easier to see on 3-hourly) and neckline about 18.7250 and coincides with GANN support too.
Overall I feel we see 18.4350 in the week(s) to come, or sooner I guess., is my personal opinion only.
Strategy SELL @ 18.6950-18.7550 and take profit near 18.5350.
USDZAR-SELL strategy 12-hourly chart GANN SQThe pair has moved aggressively upwards due to thin holiday trading period, and we reached near 18.8700 area before moving down to 18.6150 and upwards again near 18.7900.
The pair is over extended, and I suspect we will see 18.45-18.5250 again near term.
Strategy SELL @ 18.6750-18.7350 and take profit near 18.5250 for now.
USDZAR lets shortAnd welcome to our last Weekly Rand Review of 2024!
The Rand had a nightmare week after several weeks of gains, what with interest rate cuts and political shake-ups around the globe, coupled with South Africa’s first FDI outflows in four years.
But it wasn't just the Rand that suffered, as global markets crashed mid-week before recovering somewhat
USD/ZAR LONGThis is not really a currency I trade much much everything lines up for a trade to the upside. I have weekly daily and 4h timeframes as bullish and we have pulled back to a pretty well respected daily zone. So on Sunday/Monday I’ll be looking for potential entry opportunities to take it to the next higher high

Potential drop followed by a long opportunity USDZAR managed to create bullish after finding momentum on a significant support. Currently the bullish move looks to be fading, as price action failed to cement this momentum above 18.220. As the pair develops, the below support barriers will be essential aims were the pair may fall towards and kickstart the upside move. Conversely, if price action fails to fall USDZAR, will continue it's bullish momentum.
