Technical Analysis – NZDUSD bears remain in favour after double top creation

Posted on October 8, 2020 at 7:33 am GMT

NZDUSD could not sustain strength above 0.6600 as the 20- and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs) and the blue Kijun-sen line blocked the way towards the 0.6796 peak, with the price registering a lower high in the daily chart instead. Note that the latter is following the creation of a bearish double top pattern. A forceful close below 0.6500 would make the short-term outlook cloudier and the momentum indicators cannot exclude that scenario at the moment. The RSI, although still not far below its [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD finds footing on mid-Bollinger band

Posted on October 2, 2020 at 12:30 pm GMT

NZDUSD found some traction on the mid-Bollinger band currently at 0.6613, after a pullback returned the pair underneath the 100- and 200-period simple moving averages (SMAs). Furthermore, the short-term ascent is holding above the uptrend line drawn from the 0.6510 mark. The short-term oscillators suggest increasing momentum. The MACD, in the positive area, is above its red signal line, while the RSI is beginning to climb in bullish territory. The stochastic oscillators’ negative tone is waning as the %K line [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD pauses decline after double top; bearish threats still in play

Posted on September 30, 2020 at 6:55 am GMT

NZDUSD got trapped within the 0.6500-0.6600 zone after breaking below a supportive trendline and confirming a double top formation around 0.6796. It is worth noting that the 200 simple moving average (SMA) is also placed around these two peaks in the weekly chart. Although the rebound in the Stochastics favours bullish actions in the short-term, the RSI, having posted a series of lower highs, is still below its 50 neutral mark. Adding to the bearish signals is the MACD which has been trending downwards [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD bulls halted by mid-Bollinger band; bearish pressures remain

Posted on September 25, 2020 at 12:01 pm GMT

NZDUSD’s fresh upward pivot from 0.6510 has been dismissed by the mid-Bollinger band at 0.6574, which has reset the negative direction, with the price now tackling the 0.6539 barrier. The diving 50- and 100-period simple moving averages’ (SMAs) negative demeanour and their forthcoming bearish overlaps of the 200-period SMA, may further aid a weakening bias. The short-term oscillators back a deteriorating picture. The MACD, far below zero, although above its red signal line appears to be waning, while the dipping [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD bears meet 0.6600; selling pressure may continue

Posted on September 23, 2020 at 7:22 am GMT

NZDUSD had a steep decrease over the previous couple of sessions, challenging the 0.6600 psychological level. The pair fell beneath the six-month ascending trend line, opening the way for a potential neutral bias in the short-term. The momentum indicators are confirming the recent selling interest as the RSI slipped beneath its 50 level, while the stochastic oscillator dropped in the oversold zone. The 20- and 40-day simple moving averages (SMAs) are turning slightly lower and the 200-day SMA is flattening [..]

Posted on September 21, 2020 at 3:32 pm GMT

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand will wrap up its policy meeting at 02:00 GMT Wednesday. No action is expected, so the market reaction might depend on the overall tone of the statement, any changes to the timing of the next rate cut, and how open policymakers appear towards buying foreign assets. Economic data have deteriorated and the RBNZ’s own forecasts are grim, implying the Bank is likely to stick to dovish language, helping to keep a lid on the [..]
