New Zealand to post Q3 GDP as recovery gathers steam, kiwi soars – Forex News Preview

Posted on December 16, 2020 at 3:29 pm GMT

Third quarter GDP figures are scheduled for release in New Zealand on Thursday (Wednesday, 21:45 GMT), following hot on the heels of the government’s upwardly revised economic projections earlier today. The Pacific nation’s economy is forecast to have bounced back strongly in Q3 despite its biggest city – Auckland – spending much of August and September under lockdown. Although the now ‘outdated’ data won’t change anything as far as the outlook is concerned, it could reinforce the kiwi’s uptrend if [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD flirts with 32-month peak; bulls have control

Posted on December 16, 2020 at 7:46 am GMT

NZDUSD has been in a strong bullish tendency since March 19, reaching a fresh 32-month high of 0.7119 on Monday. The flatten mode around the overbought territory in the RSI and the slowdown in the MACD oscillator show somewhat weak buying pressure, though both remain well above their neutral thresholds keeping the short-term risk skewed to the upside. In trend indicators, the bullish cross between 20- and 40-day simple moving averages (SMAs), created at the beginning of the previous month, [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD’s bullish bias durable despite consolidation

Posted on December 11, 2020 at 1:46 pm GMT

NZDUSD is retreating from its freshly plotted 31½-month high of 0.7113 in the four-hour chart, as positive drive seems to have taken the back seat, something also reflected in the directionless Ichimoku lines. That said the solid bullish bearing of the simple moving averages (SMAs) is protecting the uptrend. The short-term oscillators are communicating conflicting signals in directional momentum. The MACD, above zero and its red trigger line, is conveying improvements in price, while the recently turned bearish stochastic oscillator, [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD restores bullish momentum; uptrend solid and intact

Posted on December 9, 2020 at 11:02 am GMT

NZDUSD pivoted higher early on Wednesday and towards its 32-month top of 0.7100, refusing to abandon the 0.7000 area for the time being. The RSI is also reluctant to exit the overbought zone, suggesting that although the market remains vulnerable to downside corrections, there is still some bullish fuel left in the tank. The upside reversal in the fast-stochastics and the fact that the price continues to fluctuate within the upper Bollinger area is also keeping the short-term bias tilted to the upside. [..]

Posted on December 4, 2020 at 1:54 pm GMT

It’s been a roller-coaster year for the commodity-linked dollars of Canada, Australia and New Zealand as the global pandemic has wreaked havoc on international trade and on commodity prices – the lifelines of the three economies. But as countries around the world make progress towards recovering from the once-in-a-generation crisis, Australia and New Zealand seem poised to bounce back the quickest. Canada’s recovery may be slightly shakier due to its over dependency on the United States and oil exports. But [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD pulls under Ichimoku lines; bullish structure unbroken

Posted on December 4, 2020 at 10:13 am GMT

NZDUSD is receding below the flattening blue Kijun-sen line around 0.7054 in the four-hour chart, after a bullish trend off 0.6612 thrusted the pair up towards a 31-month high of 0.7103. The Ichimoku lines are indicating some stalling in positive price action, while the soaring simple moving averages (SMAs) are safeguarding the positive structure. Nevertheless, the short-term oscillators are echoing clues that a deeper negative retracement could unfold before the climb resumes. The MACD, after hovering for some time beneath [..]
