NZD/USD Trade Idea

, one of our market analysts, has provided the following trading idea. Feel free to take a look, and let us know what you think.

 

Trade idea: Sell NZD/USD at $0.6490, stops at $0.6588

 

The NZD has been the weakest G10 currency over past 24 hours relative to the USD, but then this has been the case over the past month as well, with the pair falling 4.9%.

 

From a momentum perspective being short NZD/USD makes a lot of sense.

 

Is there any reason to be fighting the strong trend lower at present? I certainly wouldn’t be and there are no clear reversal signs on the daily or weekly charts. When you look at various fundamentals inputs it also suggests shorts are absolutely warranted. Last night’s dairy auction in New Zealand saw an 11% decline in whole milk powder, although futures pricing had largely been predicting this. New Zealand’s terms of trade have been improving of late, but this auction will not reflect well for Q3 GDP on 17 December.

 

Prior to the Q3 GDP print, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will announce potential changes to its cash rate and as it stands 15 of 18 economists surveyed by Bloomberg see a 25 basis point cut. This is not fully reflected in the swaps markets, so I would not be surprised to see the NZD drift lower into the RBNZ meeting. On the other side of the equation, the two key event risks for the USD will be the November non-farm payrolls on 5 December and the 17 December FOMC meeting.

 

It’s not hard to see why NZD/USD is trending lower as this is central bank divergence in its purest form.

 

Interestingly, there is an almost tick-for-tick correlation between NZD/USD and the NZ/US two-year bond spread, where US bond yields are moving up much more aggressively relative to that of New Zealand. These changes positively impact the USD valuation, with global money managers seeing higher potential returns in the US bond market. For NZD/USD to continue trading lower we will need to see US bond yield tick higher and given the market is priced at a 68% probability of a move from the Fed in December there is a real possibility we could see further upside in US yields and therefore USD strength.

 

Technically, I would specifically look at the two-hour chart where we can see a compelling downside break of the November triple bottom at $0.6500. Yesterday we saw a re-test of the former support and a rejection and should be seen a bearish development. On the daily chart momentum and trend indicators are headed lower, suggesting a move into the August-September lows could feasibly come into play.

 

In terms of risk management I feel placing stops above the 11 November high of $0.6588 is prudent. I would take a much more neutral stance on NZD/USD on a closing break of the October downtrend at $0.6690. I am keen to target the $0.6300 to $0.6250 area.

Nice one,

 

Though, maybe could have SAR'd this one two weeks ago @ 6594, now be moving your stop to B/E and have an extra 100 pips? :manwink:

    • TATA MOTORS – Daily Chart Analysis Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend (Minute degree, Navy) Mode: Motive Structure: Potential Impulse within a larger degree corrective wave Position: Minute Wave ((iii)) Navy Details: Minute Wave ((iii)) Navy progressing lower within Minor Wave 1 or A against 1145-50. Invalidation point: 1145-50 Elliott Wave Analyst: Harsh Japee TATA Motors Daily Chart Technical Analysis and Potential Elliott Wave Counts: The wave structure of TATA Motors seems to be changing since the last week's update, with the stock breaking below the 1011 interim support. An alternative scenario might be unfolding with Intermediate Wave (5) Orange now likely complete around the 1180 high. Since the lows registered in December 2022, around the 375-80 range, the stock has rallied, subdividing into an impulse. Intermediate Wave (5) might have ended, and the stock remains under control as long as it stays below 1180. The Elliott Channel resistance has remained slightly below the 1180 level. If the current wave structure holds, TATA Motors is expected to stay under 1180 and move lower towards the 850-55 zone. This movement would signify the end of Minor Wave 4, indicating a potential deeper correction ahead. TATA MOTORS – 4H Chart Analysis Elliott Wave / Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend (Minute degree, Navy) Mode: Motive Structure: Potential Impulse within a larger degree corrective wave Position: Minute Wave ((iii)) Navy Details: Minute Wave ((iii)) Navy progressing lower within Minor Wave 1 or A against 1145-50. Target: 855 in the medium term Invalidation point: 1145-50 TATA Motors 4H Chart Technical Analysis and Potential Elliott Wave Counts: The TATA Motors 4H chart has been adjusted accordingly, indicating that Wave (5) may have terminated around the 1180 high, which was registered on July 30, 2024. Additionally, Minor Wave 5 Grey could have subdivided into five waves, leading to its termination near 1180. Minute Waves ((i)) and ((ii)) have likely completed around the 1011 and 1045-50 range, respectively. If this analysis holds, the price should drop towards the 850 level as Minute Wave ((iii)) Navy progresses, while staying below the 1145-50 range. Conclusion: TATA Motors could be moving lower within Minute Wave ((iii)) Navy of Minor Wave 1 Grey, against the 1145-50 level.

    • CAC 40 (France) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart CAC 40 (France) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Gray wave 2 Position: Orange wave 3 Direction Next Higher Degrees: Gray wave 3 Details: Gray wave 1 appears completed. Now, gray wave 2 of orange wave 3 is in play. Wave Cancel Invalid Level: 7,031.04 The CAC 40 Elliott Wave analysis for the daily chart shows that the index is currently experiencing a counter-trend in a corrective mode. The structure being monitored is gray wave 2, while its position is within orange wave 3. This indicates the market is in a corrective phase before potentially resuming its next impulsive movement. Gray wave 1 seems to be complete, and gray wave 2 of orange wave 3 is now unfolding. This means the market is currently in a retracement or consolidation period, which is typical for a wave 2 under Elliott Wave theory. Once this corrective wave is finished, the index is expected to resume its upward movement in gray wave 3, within the broader context of orange wave 3. The analysis further highlights the next higher degree movement, signaling gray wave 3 after the completion of the ongoing corrective wave. This anticipated gray wave 3 would likely mark a return to a bullish trend once the correction concludes. A key point in this analysis is the wave cancellation level set at 7,031.04. Should the price drop below this level, the current wave count will become invalid, necessitating a reanalysis of the structure. However, as long as the price remains above this invalidation level, the current wave count stays intact, and the market is expected to continue progressing through gray wave 2, leading to the onset of gray wave 3. In summary, the CAC 40 is in gray wave 2 of orange wave 3. After this correction concludes, the market is likely to enter gray wave 3. The wave count remains valid unless the price falls below 7,031.04.   CAC 40 (France) Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Weekly Chart CAC 40 (France) Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Bullish Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Orange wave 3 Position: Navy blue wave 3 Direction Next Higher Degrees: Orange wave 3 (started) Details: Orange wave 2 appears completed. Now, orange wave 3 of 3 is in play. Wave Cancel Invalid Level: 7,031.04 The CAC 40 Elliott Wave analysis on the weekly chart highlights that the index is currently in a bullish trend with an impulsive mode. The analysis focuses on orange wave 3, with the current position being within navy blue wave 3. This suggests that the index is progressing through a strong upward phase, characterized by impulsive movements typical of wave 3. Based on the analysis, orange wave 2 seems to have completed, and now orange wave 3 of 3 is unfolding. This transition indicates that the market has moved out of its corrective phase and is now in an impulsive wave, pushing the index higher. The primary focus remains on the continuation of the bullish trend as orange wave 3 develops further. The next higher degree direction points to the continuation of orange wave 3, which has already begun. This suggests that upward momentum is expected to continue in the near future as the index moves through different stages of wave 3. The wave cancellation level is set at 7,031.04. If the price drops below this level, the current wave structure and bullish outlook would become invalid, requiring a reassessment of the wave count. However, as long as the index remains above this level, the impulsive wave count stays valid, and the index is expected to continue rising as orange wave 3 progresses. In summary, the CAC 40 weekly chart shows a strong bullish trend, with orange wave 3 currently in play. The index is positioned within navy blue wave 3, and as long as the price stays above 7,031.04, the impulsive upward movement is expected to continue.
