Engulfing Candle
EUR/USD – Bearish Engulfing Candlestick on The Weekly Chart.On the weekly chart, we can see how the candle from 2 weeks ago has ended as a bearish engulfing candlestick.
It indicates that the long term bearish momentum is still continuing.
On the H1 chart, we can see a fresh supply above which is a great level to sell and join the long term bearish momentum.
I'll sell at this supply and the target will be 1.0700 zones.

ANALYSIS
1D - Overall trend is showing downtrend based on 1D TF - 200EMA. Heikin Ashi is still uptrend but the price is currently struggling to break above resistance level of 0.85201 - 0.85075. It is also supported by 83EMA and 100EMA which act as Dynamic Resistance.

4H - Looking at the 4H TF, we can see that Price is moving on an Ascending Channel. Short term trend showing uptrend which is supported by Heikin Ashi. However, as stated before, the price is currently struggling to break above Static and Dynamic Resistance on a higher Timeframe (1D). We will give more weight on a higher timeframe as Smart Money focuses on this time frame.

OTHER ENTRY REASON(s):
High Momentum price action approaching resistance usually reverses as it has no higher highs to support its move.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. Exit/TP on Higher Timeframes: 4H or 1D
2. Scale in on Entry Timeframe (1H).
IMPORTANT:
Always move the SL on Breakeven after significant move.
Scale in as necessary and move the TP of the initial entry to the SL of new entry. This way, we will be able to Minimize risk and Maximize potential Profit.

NZDUSD - FURTHER DOWNSIDE ?NZDUSD on the weekly timeframe looks to create a closing bearish engulfing candle.
With data from the US still topsy turvy / if, but, maybe a trade deal, then the uptick in NZD may have to wait a while until it finds buyers at a lower level around the 0.6090 August 2015 spike.
Trades to the long side of NZD are increasing but the strength in USD may well keep it subdued. Maybe look to trade it against a weaker currency ?
Keep a look out next week on the price action to see if NZD drops below previous structure lows for clues to see how much further the downside will be.

NZDCAD following MONTHLY trendWe now have a bullish engulfing candlestick on the MONTHLY chart. this is a good signal that we will see a Daily reversal to follow prices current trend,
at this point I am looking to open a long position at a support level.
This is a good risk vs: reward opportunity.
Cheers
The rand could be set to take a beatingThe budget speech takes place later on today and the recent events in South Africa has created an impression that lacks confidence from investors.
The Eskom debt and maintenance debacle is not going down well with Pravin Gordhan holding his cards close to his chest on plans to get the troubled utility back on its feet and avoid affecting businesses as has happened earlier in 2019. On the political end the DA leader had resigned as did the mayor of Joburg creating more uncertainty in one of the fastest and financially powerful cities in the country.
The unemployment rate is at an 11 year high nearing the 30% mark which reinforces the clear picture of a failing governance plunging into poverty.
Now with some of the fundamental things out in the open I'll dig into the technicals BECAUSE IT WORKS (Sorry fundamentalists!)
The market is currently trading slightly higher after reversing at the previous low around the 14.50xx zone. When I draw a support level here I can see respect to this level when checking back so I am interested to trade off this level - giving the budget speech perfect timing to be a catalyst for the market to move from this level.
I have noted that the daily time frame shows a bearish market HOWEVER there is a bullish engulfing bar completed on the same 14.50xx level. A bullish engulfing bar on support on the daily and 4 hourly time frame? Really? See where I am going with this?
I'd like to see the market structure promote bullish momentum by means of forming higher lows where a pullback can be used for an entry. My heart says buy but my head works on the technicals so for now I wait and see IF a signal comes forth.
Moody's is also to provide their rating on SA and the investment grade seems likely to drop to junk due to all the problems the country and political parties are facing. Well what do ya know.....so many influencing factors. Trading purely on the fundamentals can leave you with a damaged account and a news headline saying "the move was already priced in" - go figure hehe.
Let's see what shakes :)
