I have been bearish on NZDUSD for quite some time now as I think the pair might start a drop down sooner or later. There is a bearish divergence on the daily chart as shown below, which adds value to our bearish view. There is also a bearish hidden divergence forming on the weekly chart as well.
NZDUSD has an up-move trend line as plotted on the 4 hour chart shown below. To enter a sell trade, we want the pair to break this trend line and first immediate support, which is currently at around 0.8450. If the pair manages to break the trend line and support, closes below it, then we will jump into a sell trade for NZDUSD. Remember, we need a close on the 4-hour chart below the trend line to enter into the trade. We do not want to trade any false break in the current market conditions.
Initial target should be around the next up-move trend line as plotted on the chart below and final target could be the gap close at around 0.8140. Stop should be placed above the previous high after entering the trade.
Reviewing Friday’s events and trades
US dollar lost a lot of ground this past week after the US debt deal was made at the last moment. US dollar was sold off heavily going into the weekend as EURUSD, GBPUSD and AUDUSD all traded higher. Canadian inflation data was released this past Friday, which registered a better reading than expected. The Canadian dollar was seen gaining some bids on Friday. Other than this, there was no major fundamental event scheduled from the US on last Friday.
Fundamental Outlook for the day
US existing home sales data is one of the major fundamental events scheduled later in the day, which is expected to show a minor decline from the previous outcome. Other than this Canadian Wholesale sales data and Chicago Fed national activity figure is also lined up later in the NY session. A lot of moves are expected in the coming days as some key fundamental data are scheduled. It would be interesting to see whether US dollar is able to recover some of the lost ground or not. So, keep an eye on all the event’s friends and trade safe.
