NZDCAD, Daily
Upwards momentum seems to continue for NZDCAD since mid-June where the pair reverse the downtrend by rallied nearly 150 pips above 0.9527 level on June 14. Strength in the Oil price for the last 4 days weighs the CAD currently. WTI oil prices are over 1% higher but, it is still quite weak since it moves near year’s low, i.e. at $43.88 per barrel.
The NZDCAD seems to get back in the upwards channel observed since April, despite the downwards correction between June 9 and June 13. Hence since June 14, in a 4-hour chart pair seems to move in an upwards channel, making intraday downwards correction. Interesting is the fact that for the last 2 weeks higher high Fractals have been observed, while 200- period EMA supports quite strongly the pair in the 4-hour chart.
Therefore, a Long position in a Daily timeframe was taken with entry at 0.9647, despite the strength seen from Oil the last few days. Support was set near 200-period EMA, i.e. 0.9550. Targets are on 0.9740 (near year’s high) and 0.9790. Meanwhile, in both Daily and 4-hour charts, MACD is positive and Parabolic SAR turned positive just today.
