ridethepig | NZD Market Commentary 2020.03.19
Divergence in AUD and NZD beginning to widen as large hands dump AUD and pile into NZD. Cases are relatively low in NZ which will keep the RBNZ from going negative, watch-out for AUDNZD breaking parity in the coming sessions. The analysis of the starting position shows us the slingshot is ready to conduct a flanking manoeuvre, but also a quick-witted seller: the exhaustion leg we are tracking can save it from the worst. As long as the 0.49xx lows are in focus, the slingshot can be administered. In this case, the breakdown is coming from Chinese inflows taking a walk, who have been suddenly threatened like a deer in the headlights;
(1) AUDCNH
(2) NZDCNH
After the flash crash the board has been cleared and the lows are naked for sellers to deliver the fatal blow. Instead of a breakdown, we should look to fade these lows. What it means is we have all the ingredients in the pot for a huge rally once we clear the coronavirus flows; so what we need to track market-wise are two 🔑 components:
1️⃣ French & Italian numbers declining
2️⃣ Focus shifting from fatalities to recoveries
Remember in terms of markets we are trading perception. This expectation of panic looks set to continue till month-end, I am no expert in virology but from talking to some Chief Exec’s at hospitals on the ground there is a sense that virologists have created something sensational here which is opening the door to overreaction and hype from governments and unlocking (btw in all the wrong places) doors they never thought were possible on both the fiscal and monetary side. Stress in funding markets continues, as long as this remains the case then USD will stay in strong demand until the storm passes, as capital rushes to the doors.
AUDUSD - Macro Updates via Coronavirus Impact
SHCOMP - Chinese Equities
Whatever may be the case, this game is beautiful, as beautiful as it gets. There is a battle of major flows underway, USD will remain bid till we can clear these dark clouds of corona-panic. Or, to put more simply, returning to the starting position creates an easier flow TA-wise that will give buyers an opportunity to grab tempo.
As usual thanks for keeping the likes, comments and etc coming....What interesting times we are in!
