NZD/CAD Trade Idea


Guest ChrisW

Recommended Posts

There's been interest in shorting NZD/CAD, especially in the wake of last night’s poor Kiwi dairy auction. I would be looking at short positions, placing a stop above yesterday’s high of c$0.89 and adding on a break of the September uptrend.

 

This is quite aggressive and while we have seen a bearish reversal (circled), we still need to see a lower low to confirm the reversal. The momentum oscillators are rolling over, but not giving any huge sell signal so I would keep position sizing small.

 

 From a relative valuation perspective, spot NZD/CAD has diverged significantly from the NZ/CAD 2-year bond spread. As the yield spread premium the NZ 2-yr treasury commands over the Canadian 2-yr declines the pair should follow, but this has not been the case. I suspect we are going to see catch up from spot FX and NZD/CAD should come back in-line as mean reversion kicks in.

 

 On the CAD side my personal belief is an extra c$10b in fiscal spend announced by the new Canadian Liberal government is not going to dramatically alter the BoC’s thinking too greatly! Keep in mind the BoC meet tonight.

Wondering how this trade is going?  I looked at the chart but can't correlate what I see to the one Chris posted (timescale)?

 

It seemed (for the NZDCAD) there was a bit of action - rose a bit then down sharply as suggested, bit of a dance down at those levels and then?

 

Is there an exit point, or ride it out for a few days, or till a Fib level/support?? 

 

Nice trade regardless.

Thanks

 

I had a look today and can see that surge now.  Thanks to Mario...

I think there might have been a few good points in it anyway pre-ECB.

 

I haven't traded FX for 10years - but the memories of similar moves at midnight (for me) are still pretty clear.  I keep meaning to consider binaries and FX, but am busy enough at the moment.

    • In general, I will start with the fact that I was looking for a cube would be possible to invest money to multiply Some bets, stock exchanges didn't really work for me. I decided to look for something really worthwhile. In general I got to cryptocurrency, studied it for a while and tried to get into it. Then I got interested in all sorts of nft, metaverse, and so on And then I found a quite interesting and fresh project It's called Sabai Ecoverse. There, and you can earn from zero, and multiply the capital. In general, I just started to get into it. Can you also look at and say your opinion, please

    • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a so-called Wells notice on Coinbase which saw the stock down heavily after-hours last night on Wall Street.    Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 23 March 2023  This is a document indicating that the SEC is preparing to act against some parts of the business. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor explains that as the story develops, and more is heard, traders will be able to make a better judgment. Coinbase shares plunge The crypto exchange Coinbase fell more than 22% yesterday late in the session, all-sessions on the IG platform, it trades outside of hours, and it was this trading that represented a big drop in the share price. Share price chart Let's take a look at what happened because it explains the situation quite well. We have subsequently this morning seen a little bit of a rebound, but that 22% drop came after the company was issued a so-called Wells notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Wells notice is often one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges against the business, generally laying out the framework for what happens next. So we've got this drop that came through last night. We've subsequently seen a little bit of a rise on the session. CNBC said last night that based on discussions with the staff that potentially enforcement actions would relate to aspects of the company's spot market staking service, Coinbase Earn, Coinbase Prime and also the Coinbase Wallet business. Now the SEC is on high alert in the crypto industry in the wake of the failure of FTX. The recent gains we've seen in Coinbase have really all been about what's been happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen a whopping 47 and three quarter percent from the lows we had back on the 10th of March, all the way up to the highs we saw on Wednesday, yesterday, mid-session before the pullback. It's acting a little bit like a safe haven in the world of the markets. But Coinbase reflected this to some degree. But that knock yesterday was a really big pullback. But the investors are regrouping around the business and see this stock now up all-sessions, up 7% today. Where it'll open remains to be seen, but I suspect we could well see a little bit of a drop at the start later on today on Wall Street.
