NZDUSD maintains a positive tone despite stalling slightly above the 0.6687 level, that being the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the down leg from 0.6797 to 0.6510. The climbing red Tenkan-sen line, which has distanced itself above its blue Kijun-sen line, is suggesting strengthening price action. Moreover, the minor upward inclines in the 50- and 100-period simple moving averages (SMAs) promote forthcoming additional advances too, and could boost this view should they cross above the 200-period SMA overhead. Furthermore, momentum in [..]
NZDUSD is currently trading in the vicinity of the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) and the red Tenkan-sen line, continuing to edge sideways, capped by the flattening 50-day SMA and Ichimoku cloud. The tone of the 50- and 200-day SMAs promotes a directionless market, while the 100-day SMA holds a positive course. Dried up directional momentum is also reflected in the horizontal Ichimoku lines as well as the short-term oscillators. The MACD is located barely below its zero mark and [..]

The virus reality has come back to bite markets just as investors were attempting once again to shrug off the gloom and doom. The daily frequency of tighter Covid restrictions being announced across Europe and dimming expectations of a pre-election stimulus deal by US lawmakers has put a dampener on risk sentiment over the past few days. Uncertainty about the US election and Brexit are adding to the market anxiety. With none of these outstanding issues expected to be resolved [..]

New Zealand’s election takes place on Saturday and opinion polls suggest a decisive victory for incumbent Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who has become tremendously popular after successfully handling the healthcare crisis. The real question for the kiwi dollar is whether Ardern will win an outright governing majority, in which case the currency could get a small boost, or whether she will need a coalition with a smaller party. In the bigger picture, the primary drivers for the kiwi will be [..]
NZDUSD has been in a horizontal trajectory over the last three weeks within the 0.6520 and 0.6670 barriers. Currently, the pair is holding above the 20- and 40-day simple moving averages (SMAs) after they posted a bearish crossover in the short-term. The RSI indicator is sloping slightly up near the neutral threshold of 50, however, the stochastic oscillator is looking overbought as it is ready to create a negative cross within the %K and %D lines. If the price manages [..]
NZDUSD appears to be stuck in a horizontal market, backed by the Ichimoku cloud, and is currently capped by the downward sloping 100-period simple moving average (SMA) at 0.6620. The pair is struggling to overtake this level that also happens to be the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the down leg from 0.6797 to 0.6510. The conflicting Ichimoku lines reflect an easing in negative momentum, while the gradual rising of the 50-period SMA suggests weakness in downward drive. The short-term oscillators [..]

The latter also helps us to track if you were referred to us by another website and improve our future advertising campaigns.
Another use of cookies is to store your log in sessions, meaning that when you log in to the Members Area to deposit funds, a "session cookie" is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website did not set this cookie, you will be asked for your login and password on each new page as you progress through the funding process.
In addition, functional cookies, for example, are used to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure your information is secure and operate more reliably and efficiently.
