It's hard to see the Eurozone fall into a recession. Currently, New Zealand seems like it will be able to avoid the same recessionary risks as a result of a global economic slowdown. The pair has broken below a strong level of support turned resistance. The pair has bounced above this level since 2017. It's easy to see the pair move lower HEADWINDS TO THIS PLAY...

The pair is sitting below the 50 day SMA after clearing a trendline. I would like to see more action within this zone supporting a long trade considering that the zone also has a resistance level which the price broke to the downside in June. Failure to break above this level will invalidate this idea. Therefore, the...

The pair has one more resistance level - the 50 day MA - to clear opening up the 0.83xx last touched in June.

The OBV has shown signs of convergence to support flows into...

The Swiss Franc has seen some crazy moves since April. In the last quarter, we saw the CHF weaken on the onset of the Russian invasion. Then the SNB raised rates by whooping 50 bps for the first time in years. This led the Swiss government bond yields to spike with USDCHF weakened in days. Since then, speculators have...

The last time this pair dropped below parity, investors chose the CHF over the Euro. However, the SNB was worried about the deflationary aspects of such a move and acted to reverse the move. This time, the fundamentals are more or less the same or different depending on how you interpret it. The Euro zone investors are worried about the block tipping into a...

The pair has been pivoting to reverse May - June gains. The pair has been printing lower highs forming a descending triangle. A confirmation of the break on the daily timeframe will warrant a short-sale. Fundamentally, the AUD is struggling in the face of a global economic slowdown. The currency, a bellwether for global risk sentiment, weakened after the RBA...

The Euro hit the lowest level since 2002 this morning on reports that a key Russian gas pipeline had stopped sending gas to Europe. This has sparked recessionary fears across European markets.

The Yen is no longer as a safe haven with the BoJ indicating that they are not bothered with a weak Yen. I expect further weakness, anticipating that the ZARJPY, AUDJPY & NZDJPY being great plays for this weakness The 0.618 Fibonacci extension lies ahead with the price target for 2022 being at the 100% level at 9.519.

Yesterdays' release of the US' FOMC meeting minutes came as expected with a few curve balls. I noted that a few FED members favor balance sheet runoffs as in lieu of raising rates However a faster taper and three interest rate hikes are still expected in 2022 and this adds more support to stronger DXY. However, the US Dollar is expected to remain under pressure...
