NZD/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for March 8, 2017





On December 16, the price level of 0.6960 failed to apply enough bullish pressure. Instead, bearish movement continued toward the lower limit of the depicted BUY zone (0.6860) which provided significant bullish rejection on December 23.


The NZD/USD pair was trapped within the depicted price range (0.6860-0.6990) until a bullish breakout occurred.


A bullish breakout above 0.6960-0.7000 allowed the pair to head toward the price level of 0.7100 (Key level) which failed to provide sufficient bearish pressure on the pair.


Bullish persistence above 0.7100 allowed further bullish advance toward 0.7250-0.7350 (Sell-Zone) where the bearish price action should be expected.


Bearish persistence below 0.7250 is needed to allow further bearish decline toward 0.7100 (note the previous bearish DAILY candlesticks expressed within the SELL-Zone).


As anticipated, bearish persistence below 0.7100 (Key-Level) allows further bearish movement toward 0.6960 where bullish rejection should be watched for a possible BUY entry.


On the other hand, any bullish pullback towards 0.7100 should be watched for a valid SELL entry if enough bearish rejection is expressed.

USD/JPY is under pressure. The pair is trading below its 50-period moving average and is testing the 20-period one. The relative strength index is below its neutrality level at 50. Additionally, 115.25 is playing a key resistance role, which should limit the upside potential.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis March 17, 2017


The CAD had impulsive pressure over the USD after the FOMC decided to raise the federal funds rate from 0.75% to 0.75%-1.00%. Following a widely expected Fed's move, the rate hike decision made an huge impact on the currency market but affected the USD in a negative way. Currently, the USD/CAD market is trading sideways after the impulsive bearish move the day before yesterday. Today, we have G20 Meeting which is going to be underway for the whole global day. Therefore, the USD/CAD pair may show some volatility along the way. Moreover, today Canada will present Manufacturing Sales report. Previously, the figure was at 2.3% but no forecast has been made about this report. Any positive or negative outcome will affect the CAD in an impulsive way today. On the other hand, today on the USD front, the economic calendar contains Preliminary UoM Consumer Sentiment which previously was at 96.3 and 97.1 is expected today. On the whole, the currency market is going to be quite volatile today. Amid some important first-tier reports from the US and Canada, the USD/CAD pair is facing a choppy trade today.


Now let us look at the technical view. After the break below the channel support and dynamic support of 20 EMA the pair is expected to retest the nearest resistance of 1.3370. If we see any bullish rejection from the level, we will consider selling with a target towards 1.3215. On the other hand, daily close above the resistance 1.3370 will cancel the bearish bias.
