NZD/CAD Price Analysis: Prospects of a 61.8% retracement below 0.8980

  • NZD/CAD bears are moving up to the plate.
  • A top-down analysis illustrates where there could be an opportunity on the weekly, daily and 4-hour chart. 

NZD/CAD has now moved into a position that offers a potential downside opportunity, although there is still some work to do from the bears and a complicated support stricture to break. 

Monthly chart

The monthly chart shows that there is more downside to go until a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. 

Weekly chart

The 38.2% Fibonacci has a confluence of prior resistance which would be expected to be an initial hurdle en-route to the 21-moving average. 

Daily chart

From a daily standpoint, there is a complicated support structure, but once it is cleared, there are prospects of a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement below 0.8980.

4-hour chart

From a 4-hour perspective, 0.9020 is ear-marked according to structure and the 21-moving average. On a break there, the technical indicators will turn bearish, potentially drawing in sellers to take on the tripple-bottom.

AUD/USD drops to two-week low, further below 0.7000 after RBA's less hawkish rate hike

AUD/USD drifts lower for the second straight day on Tuesday, hitting a fresh two-week low during the Asian session after the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) widely expected 25 bps rate hike. The decision was far from unanimous, with three members preferring to hold rates at 4.60%. This tempers expectations of further tightening, which, along with modest US Dollar strength, weighs on the currency pair.





USD/JPY fails near 159.00 amid weak USD, intervention risks

USD/JPY edges lower during Tuesday’s Asian session, reversing part of the previous day's gains to 158.00 as the US Dollar remains depressed amid hopes for Iran diplomacy and ahead of US midterm elections. Meanwhile, intervention risks support the Japanese Yen, though the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike caps gains. This keeps the pair confined within a familiar range and warrants caution before placing directional bets.

BoE is set to hike rates this week: Warns against 'unwarranted' aggressive tightening
We see a hike as a done deal this week and another, while not yet our baseline scenario, is possible in February should inflation stay above 4%, commodity prices remain high and activity remain resilient. We remain of the view, however, that aggressive tightening is unwarranted, for four main reasons: There are no clear signs of second-round inflation effects, nor do we think that there will be.
The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions
The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
