Happy Holiday’s FX friends! Hope your trades are giving you dividends especially these days. Anyway, those who are long on the New Zealand dollar or the Kiwi as what investors call it in the street, should start thinking about lightening your positions. Why? Well, if you look at its daily chart, you will see that it has recently broken down from a head and shoulders pattern. In the process, it has also breached its uptrend line. As some of you might know, a break down from such pattern signals a bearish reversal. So if the NZDUSD pair fails to go over the formation’s neckline at 0.7400, it could fall all the way down to just above 0.6800 (computed by projecting the height of the pattern from the point of break down). On the flip side, a successful move above 0.7400 could send the pair at least back in sideways motion. [Read more...]

Bullishness Seen In The Aussie!

Hello guys! Welcome to another day of forex trading. My forex pick for the day is an update on the Australian dollar against the US dollar currency pair (AUDUSD) or as some may call it “Aussie”.

The New Zealand Dollar To Drop Against the US Dollar?

Hi guys, my forex pick is the NZDUSD pair (New Zealand dollar vs US dollar) or “kiwi” as some may call it. This currency had been going up since May of this year but after making a 2-year high of 0.7976 last November, it started dropping. Right now, I’m bearish on this currency pair as it  could break down from a head and shoulders formation in the daily chart with the neckline at [Read more...]

The Aussie Could Head North Once Again

Hey guys, here’s my technical analysis update on the Australian dollar against the US dollar (AUD/USD) or the “Aussie” as some people call it. The Australian and US dollar were at par last month (kindly check this) then an all-time high of 1.0183 was made on November 5. However, the Aussie started declining by a thousand pips to an 8-week low of 0.9584 because of the Ireland banking crisis then followed up by the potential North-South Korea war last week. Fortunately for [Read more...]

EURO Still On An Uptrend Against The US Dollar

Hello traders from all parts of the world! My forex pick for the day is the EURUSD pair or “fiber” as many would call it. As you can see, the Euro has been strong against the greenback since it broke out from the cup and handle formation last September (kindly check here). Afterwards, a bullish symmetrical triangle formed, broke out to follow through the upward momentum and reach the 1.4282 9-month high last November 4 (kindly see it here). However, the Euro now sank against the US Dollar dropping by a thousand pips since the beginning of this Month. Key factors highly involved in demoting the pair’s value include the [Read more...]

The Geppy’s Bearish Setup

Hello forex friends! What I have here is the daily chart of the British Pound versus the Japanese Yen (GBP/JPY) or Geppy as its nickname). In my technical analysis, this currency pair is leaning towards the bearish side as it has been declining in a downward channel for a certain time now. Furthermore, there is a descending triangle formation setting up inside the channel and could be bound for a breakdown soon. If the Geppy breaks below the support of the said triangle, the pair could duck dive and tap my conservative target price of 120.00. If it further drops below 120.00, the next marker could be the downward channel’s support. On the bullish note, if the descending triangle seen on the Pound versus the Yen fails to breakdown but instead breaks out on the upside, it could rise and hit my target price of 140.00. This however is less likely to happen as the pattern is coming from a downtrend and descending triangles are naturally bearish. In any case 140.00 gets cleared out, the next resistance could be 145.00.
