The FX Trader’s view –
Continuing the theme from the last FX Update on the US Dollar Index and a possible final downleg unfolding there we look at a similar (but reversed) chart structure in NZD/USD where bulls could be steadily scraping towards the bottom of the barrel..
- WEEKLY CHART: After a temporary pause ahead of the 0.6637 Aug-07 low, when support emerged from a 23.6% level, a further push higher has seen the 0.6945 61.8% recovery level loom into view.
- DAILY CHART: The recent breach of the early Jun 0.6595 high signalled that s/term bulls now have the controls. Note s/term support has come nicely from that high – ideally this will hold for now, in order to preserve current upward momentum. We are currently keeping an eye on one interesting Fibo projection at 0.7000, just above the 61.8% recovery level. In the FX Trading Guide we have already conjectured that we are seeing a final, third upleg. This is turning out to be less choppy than some other markets such as EUR/USD. We hold a s/term bullish stance and don’t, at this stage, anticipate maintaining this for too long – we’ll see.
