Technical Analysis – NZDUSD retests 200-period SMA; bearish bias

Posted on January 29, 2021 at 10:17 am GMT

NZDUSD is outperforming over the last three weeks in a descending channel, holding near the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) and beneath the Ichimoku cloud. The RSI is sloping marginally up in the bearish region, while the MACD is trying to surpass the trigger line below the zero level.

If the bulls dominate above the 200-period SMA, the spotlight will shift back to the 0.7195 resistance, [..]

Dollar remains overvalued; can America’s twin deficits still sink it? – Special Report

Posted on January 28, 2021 at 2:28 pm GMT

The US dollar ended a volatile 2020 down 6.5% against a basket of currencies, underlining the dramatic turnaround in risk appetite from the depths of the March virus crisis. That risk rally is showing no sign of abating anytime soon, driving bearish bets against the dollar to near-decade highs. Nevertheless, the dollar’s negative outlook is becoming increasingly murky as the US economy is poised to outperform its peers in 2021. In view of this, can America’s soaring current account and [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD fluctuates around MAs but upside risks remain

Posted on January 22, 2021 at 9:02 am GMT

NZDUSD’s slide back under the 100-period simple moving average (SMA) at 0.7196 seems to have cemented the price within the confines of 0.7082-0.7240 of a sideways move. The range-bound demeanour, after the price retracted from the multi-year high of 0.7314, appears to be nourished by the impaired and flattening 50-period SMA and the slowing upward pace of the 100- and 200-period SMAs. The short-term oscillators are currently nurturing bearish scenarios. The MACD, above the zero mark, is easing towards its [..]
