FX Review FxTaTrader Weekly Strategy Week 26 / Sunday 21-June-2015

In this article I will provide my view on the CHF/JPY, GBP/AUD, NZD/USD and the NZD/CHF. These are the pairs that I am currently interested in or was interested in last week for trading with the FxTaTrader weekly strategy. I will pick one to analyse in more detail from the pairs that have not been discussed yet recently.


Open/pending positions of last week

CHF/JPY

This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Wk25 where the pair was tipped for going long. Last week the pair recovered from the pullback in the week before. However, the daily and 4 Hour chart are showing consolidation in the MACD. There is a chance of another pullback if the momentum does not pick up in the coming week.

From a longer term view the pair found the uptrend again in week 18 after a strong pullback in March and April. The pair found support around the 23,6% Fibo level measured from the low of Jan 14 at 114,079 and the high of the day after at 138,870. The pair offered a good opportunity in week 19 week and (pending) orders have been opened for this pair. The CHF is a strong currency from a longer term perspective and has this week a currency score of 7. The JPY is a weak currency and has a currency score of 3 this week. With a Currency score difference of 4 and the CHF better classified it is an interesting pair.

Possible positions for coming week

NZD/USD

This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Wk24 where the pair was tipped for going short. The pair looks several weeks interesting for taking short positions. It succeeded to break through the lows of February and March and the Daily chart is showing increase of momentum. It is a good opportunity for taking positions. The pair is however outside the Bollinger Band for several weeks in the Weekly chart, for that reason it seems best to wait for a pullback.
The NZD is an average currency and has the lowest currency score at the moment of all currencies. The USD has a pullback with a score of 6. With a score difference of 5 and the USD being better classified it remains an interesting pair.

Rank: 3

Weekly Currency score: Down
Based on the currency score the pair looked interesting since the beginning of May. Normally 3 months is the default period to check but in this case the NZD changed from a strong currency to an average currency in week 23 so an exception is made. The CHF is a strong currency from a longer term perspective. The NZD is an average currency from a longer term perspective and is getting a lot weaker in the last weeks, this offers an opportunity. With currently a Score difference of 6 and the CHF being better classified it is an interesting pair for taking positions in the coming week.
