NZD/USD and RBA GDP

The RBNZ releases interest rates at 10 am NZD time or 6 pm EST then mid rates at 11:00 am or 7 pm EST. NZD exchange rates are released shortly after. Fed Funds dropped to 0.08 yesterday from 0.09. Seems miniscule but enough to drop the USD interest rate curve by 18 points and this is a huge move for any nation’s intertest rate curve. Forces massive adjustments to every nation to align with USD.
NZD/USD began the Asia session at 0.6994 against vital break for higher at 0.7012. As Fed interest rates dropped, RBNZ interest rates and NZD/USD at 0.7012 was enough to push NZD over the line and a free trade for 8:00 pm EST or 12 PM NZD time.

NZD/USD traded 38 pips or a day trade by RBNZ fix standards.

Free trade as traders then anticipate at 8:00 pm EST NZD to the China FIX 1 hour later. Times to trade and central bank developments is extraordinary crucial to enter and exit prices. For charts, use the 1 hour and only 1 hour because it captures the hourly by hourly market changes.

NZD/USD lower must break 0.7017. As NZD broke and traveled higher, watch USD/CAD 1.2554 for lower and USD/JPY 109.58, EUR/USD 1.1845, GBP/USD 1.3813.

NZD/USD as lowest exchange rate broke first and enough to push non USD much higher.
AUD/USD trades in a massive range from 0.7397 to 0.7353. No threat to move significantly higher unless AUD trades above 0.7406.

EUR/USD as written over many weeks, long only to at least middle 1.1800’s. Here we are and the moment of truth to head much higher or lower.

CAD/CHF achieved 0.7288 from 0.7217 against reported target at 0.7267. A free and extra 20 pips and enough to push USD/CAD lower.

AUD GDP

Australia’s Real GDP or GDP minus Inflation recorded -2.5 last and 1.1 for nominal. Real GDP is factored and watched by central banks. See the RBNZ website.

Consensus is 9.2. From Real GDP and 10 + years of data, the best GDP records is 3.87. The ranges are extraordinarily wide. GDP could easily trade from minus 1.0 to as high as 3.87.
Vast majority of the averages are located in the 2.0’s. Tough haul for 9.2.

View GBP only from year to year because it aligns to averages.

Oversold EUR/NZD moves to 4th position from Friday. NZD/USD moves to 6th place from 2nd Friday. NZD/USD closed 0.7011 and perfectly on the average. NZD/EM is clear to massive overbought. Long NZD/USD at lower levels is the only trade strategy.

EUR/USD, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, EUR/AUD, EUR/NZD.

Vs Friday

AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/CAD and EUR/AUD

EUR/NZD and EUR/USD included to this week’s trades as best.

GBP

Rankings: GBP/USD, GBP/CHF, GBP/NZD, GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD, GBP/AUD
GBP/AUD drops from trade consideration to favor EUR/AUD shorts. Oversold GBP/CHF continues its top rankings and wide range movements into week 4 while GBP/CAD contains range problems and not expected to perform adequately.

Overall currency market prices begin the week not only with compressed ranges but horrible positions. This includes USD/EM, EUR/EM, AUD/EM and CAD/EM. Currency pair trade selection this week is highly selective to trade picks.

USD Vs non USD currently drives market prices. into week 2.

Oversold USD/JPY forces JPY cross pairs into the second wave rankings to short tops as usual. USD/JPY traded 83 pips last week and 87 pips for DXY. Both traded 50 pips Friday. Friday was the best day. Without Powell, total range pips would’ve traded much smaller.

Problem to USD is DXY and it effects USD/JPY and USD/CHF. DXY 87 pips and USD/JPY 83 forced SPX500 to trade 61 points for the week, 12 points for the 10 year yield and 5 points Friday. USD/CHF remains clueless and to stand clear.

DXY must trade wider ranges for markets and USD in particular to get moving.
USD/JPY higher targets 110.34 and 110.42 then short.

CAD/CHF again begins the week massively oversold and targets 0.7267 from 0.7217. Long only strategy for the week. GBP/CHF is best trade and will outperform CAD/CHF easily. Consideration to add CAD/CHF to weekly trades or possibly drop NZD/CHF or AUD/CHF. CAD/CHF adds a third insight to the USD/CAD and CAD/JPY relationship.

Watch EUR/GBP 0.8574 to target0.8619. Overbought CHF/JPY targets 120.01 and break 119.87 targets 119.34. CHF/JPY also contains severe range problems to match all JPY cross pairs.

Ongoing trade strategy remains short USD and long non USD currency pairs.

USD/EM Vs EUR/EM

USD/EM lacks consistency as certain pairs begin the week at significant points and other pairs are stuck in wide ranges and no clear sign to vital breaks to lead in any one direction. Massive oversold USD/BRL, USD/HUF and USD/INR are best longs however matched to EUR/EM as EUR/BRL, EUR/HUF and EUR/INR, all are also massively oversold.

EUR/EM is consistent to oversold but not to any degree to trade excitement. USD/EM V EUR/EM are in a fight for dominance and only EUR or USD can win. EUR/EM and USD/EM reflects the vital levels and highly selective currency pair trade selection to G28 currencies.

NZD/EM

In agreement is overbought NZD/EM,
NZD/DKK targets 4.4081 from 4.4192

NZD/KRW targets 810.11 from 814.96.
NZD/PLN targets 2.7094 from 2.7201
NZD/RON targets 2.9178 from 2.9330.

18 Currency Pair Trade Rankings: Next Week

Rankings: EUR/USD, NZD/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CAD, EUR/AUD, AUD/JPY, CAD/JPY, NZD/JPY, EUR/JPY, AUD/CHF, NZD/CHF, EUR/NZD.

Week 2, USD Vs Non USD drives markets followed again by 2nd wave JPY cross pairs.
No changes since last week except dead markets.

Questionable to EUR/USD as 1st position due to severe range problems. The story for all FX pairs to include USD/EM is severely compressed ranges. Currency prices desperately require ranges and spaces to trade but its not available.

Best pairs next week: AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/CAD and EUR/AUD. For USD/EM potential includes USD/BRL, USD/HUF and USD/TRY. Watch USD/TRY 8.3839 to move higher. vast majority of USD/EM are oversold however current prices trade at vital high/ low points. USD/EM could easily fly either way.

The outcast is USD/BRL as longs should easily hold for next week. USD/BRL is a great currency pair in line with PLN,

Unless a decent price move is seen today, we could face a dead and dull markets next week and more dull than normal.

Must be those Fed speakers or maybe yields. Just kidding. Most to what’s written and recommended today can’t be taken seriously.

USD/JPY is oversold but range problems prevail. Shorts anywhere in the 110.55 vicinity. USD/CAD is overbought but not to any degree of excitement.

GBP

GBP/USD, GBP/JPY, GBP/CHF, GBP/AUD, GBP/CAD, GBP/NZD.

GBP/USD same story as last week, range problems yet oversold enough to earn longs for 1st position. GBP/CHF also same story as range problems persist while mid range GBP/JPY follows its GBP partners.

GBP/AUD could fly much higher or lower but overbought EUR/AUD will drive GBP/AUD and explains EUR/AUD at the top of ranks and GBP/AUD mid range.

Best and easiest trades: GBP/USD, GBP/CHF and GBP/JPY.

GBP requires a significant move to change current rankings. W want GBP/AUD higher.

EUR/NZD Vs GBP/NZD. Nothing special here for next week.

18 Currency Pair Trade Rankings Review

To 18 currency pair trade rankings, forecasts and commentary. As written Sunday, AUD/USD best pair to trade. AUD/USD traded 163 pips and NZD/USD slight beat by 166 pips.

Stated EUR/USD was next. EUR/USD traded 82 pips this week. However the week is still very young and a long way to go.

EUR/AUD was 3rd in the rankings and traded 242 pips and beat GBP/AUD’s 220 pips by 22 pips.
USD/JPY oversold and traded 80 pips and EUR/USD 82.

NZD/JPY best JPY cross pair and traded 202 pips. Then CAD/JPY and AUD/JPY. CAD/JPY traded 207 pips to AUD/JPY 195. CAD/JPY beat NZD/JPY by 5 pips and AUD/JPY was correct as 3rd position. EUR/JPY was last to rankings and traded 132 pips. Correct.

GBP/USD range problems and traded 157 pips. GBP/CHF range problems and traded 132 pips. Normally stand clear to range problem currency pairs as they don’t perform as expected. GBP/USD and GBP/CHF good examples. However GBP/CHF last 3 weeks performed extremely well and never exclude this pair for trade consideration. And its the best pair in the CHF line up.

As written, GBP/CAD beats GBP/AUD. GBP/CAD traded 214 pips to GBP/AUD 220. Wrong by 6 pips.

Don’t bother trading AUD/CAD. Correct. AUD/CAD traded 67 pips. GBP/CAD is the big mover in the CAD ross pair space.

As written, NZD/CHF 1st then AUD/CHF but AUD/CHF may be the better trade. AUD/CHF traded 137 pips and NZD/CHF 138. Wrong, both were good trades.

As written, both EUR/AUD and GBP/AUD great trades. Correct.

EUR/NZD 291 pips this week and GBP/NZD 270. As written, EUR/NZD better trade. Correct.
Problem pair USD/CHF traded lower 68 pips then 66 pips higher. Stand clear USD/CHF.

NZD/USD as 2nd traded 166 pips and AUD/USD as 3rd traded 163 pips.

USD/CAD overbought traded 254 pips and beat CAD/JPY 207. USD/CAD must always beat CAD/JPY.

CAD/CHF massive oversold traded 142 pips.

USD/CAD, CAD/JPY and CAD/CHF perfect and operated on all cylinders. USD/CAD must beat its trade partners.

EUR/CAD not listed in the weekly trades, traded 226 pips Vs GBP/CAD 214.

Weekly Trades
Enter Sunday, exit Friday unless targets achieve sooner. Yesterday to start Asia trade, AUD/USD at 0.7274 and NZD/USD 0.6967. On Wednesday, what could be done with both pairs? Nothing and no trade existed. Best is a quick day trade for 20 and 30 pips as no such concept exist to weekly trades on Wednesday as 2 profit days were missed and the currency pairs were well on their way to targets.

DXY Vs S&P’s Day Trade

DXY closed 92.83. Daily range 47 pips. What is 92.83?

Its 0.9283 divide 2 = 4641 to be exact or 46 pips.

Then 0.4641 divide 2 = 0.2320 or 23 pips then 11 pips and 5 pips. Each divisional point represents a support or resistance.

So DXY 47 pips = 92.83 or 0.9283 + 47 = 9330 or 93.30.
DXY subtract 47 pips = 92.36 or 0.9236.

S&P’s Cash, must use Cash. Closed 4496.19. and daily range 22.49 points.

Bottom 4473.70 and long. Top 4518.68 and short.
DXY bottoms at 92.36 as S&P’s top at 4518.68

Or DXY tops at 93.30 as S+P bottoms at 4473.
Double trade, double profits.

Breakdown 22.49 for support and resistance points. They change so must factor everyday. 22.49 becomes 11.24, then 5.62.

See DXY and S&P support and resistance are the exact same.

This is how to trade DXY with American stock markets and any financial instrument.
DXY and currencies are not only vital to financial markets but just as important for forecasts to any financial instrument.

EUR/USD divide 2
GBP/USD divide 2,
USD/CHF divide 2.

Then match to stock market or any financial instrument ranges and many trades exist and never lose.

Simple if one knows what they are are doing,

TWI’s, NZD/EM, AUD/EM, GBP/EM

Every 5 years, central banks complete reviews to Trade Weight Indices and annual reviews to include or eliminate currencies based on trade. Normally, the threshold is 1% trade to inclusion or elimination decisions based on annual reviews. What changes yearly are the weights in the index assigned to each currency. The 5 year overhaul is a complete revamp to a trade weight index so to change the base period by addition of 5 years and to include or eliminate certain currencies.

The BOE maintain 2 indices, a Broad and Narrow to include major and minor trade partners in line with the Fed’s Nominal and Other Trade Partner Index.

The trading methodology is a depreciating currency in the index such as AUD will trade higher as AUD dropped against its major trade partners. But that’s the old method. My way is view as many currencies against the main currency whether its in the index or not because it covers many more currencies not in the index.

Best index construction is Laspeyres and use equal weights rather than as assignment to weights based on major or minor trade partners. A better performance to the index will be seen with specifics to percent movements and eyeball view which currencies moved most or least.

The RBNZ Trade Weight index includes the major currencies and: KRW, CNY, MYR, IDR, THB, SGD, INR and PHP, Philippines Peso.

NZD/EM

NZD/CNY is oversold but not to any degree to immediately jump on a trade yet NZD against 11 currencies and many not in the RBNZ Trade weight index, is massively oversold to extremes. Not only is NZD/USD oversold against the majors but deeply oversold to EM currencies. This concept offers a broader view and many more trades while the TWI lacks to effective oversold and overbought readings.

18 Currency Pair Trade Rankings

Trade Rankings: EUR/USD, NZD/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CAD, EUR/AUD, EUR/NZD, NZD/JPY, CAD/JPY, AUD/JPY, EUR/JPY, NZD/CHF, AUD/CHF

Due to the extreme wide divide between EUR/USD and USD and severe EUR, AUD, NZD, GBP oversold and USD overbought, all are first to overall trade rankings as easiest trades and most profits.

Currency market prices remain in crucial positions not only from proximity to 5, 10 and 15 year averages but ranges are severely compressed. AUD/USD for the 3rd week in a row qualifies as best followed by EUR/USD and EUR/AUD.

Problem currency prices this week includes GBP/USD, GBP/CHF, USD/CAD, EUR/NZD, USD/CHF and CHF/JPY. Problem currencies contain range problems.

Despite range problems, USD/CAD is deeply overbought and the 5 year average is close at 1.3076 and USD/CAD overbought matches to its oversold opposites, EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

USD/JPY is oversold and matches to oversold JPY cross pairs. NZD/JPY qualifies first among JPY cross pairs due to its oversold read followed by CAD/JPY and AUD/JPY and all better trades than EUR/JPY, despite oversold.

NZD/CHF qualifies against AUD/CHF due to oversold however AUD/CHF may easily qualify as the better trade for most movements and more profits. CAD/CHF is not traded weekly however CAD/CHF is massively oversold along with counterparts, AUD/CHF and NZD/CHF.

GBP

Trade Rankings: GBP/USD, GBP/CHF, GBP/CAD, GBP/AUD, GBP/JPY, GBP/NZD.

Despite range problems, GBP/USD and GBP/CHF qualify as 1st nd 2nd due to oversold, followed by overbought GBP/CAD and GBP/AUD. GBP/CAD beats GBP/AUD due to an easier trade and profits although GBP/AUD contains wide ranges this week along with its counterpart EUR/AUD. Both are great trades.

Nothing special to GBP/NZD as EUR/NZD should provide a better trade and profits.

G28 trade Strategy.

Due to extreme oversold and overbought, entries this week are meaningless. Only targets count. Any currency that traded higher will trade lower while any currency that traded lower will trade higher. Throw a dart at any currency and wherever it lands, take it long or short Sunday night.
Main driver to currency markets are USD and USD/EM as practically all USD/EM currencies are light years overbought. EUR/EM is mixed to overbought and oversold however many EUR/EM currencies are on the verge of big breaks to take EUR/EM higher.

USD/CHF is the usual exception as its price is overbought, contains range problems and isn’t worth anybody’s time or effort. far better trades exist. Watch EUR/GBP 0.8565.
Nothing special to AUD/CAD except slight oversold but AUD/CAD is not a mover currency and was never intended to move and therefore is never worth anybody’s time and effort. AUD/CAD’s purpose is to contain AUD/USD and AUD cross pairs. If AUD/CAD was a more volatile currency like GBP/CAD then AUD /USD would trade more like the volatility of GBP/USD and EUR/USD. Same principle to NZD/CAD and NZD/USD.

Realignment: EUR/USD, EUR/JPY, USD/JPY

Currently, 22 of 28 currency pairs are driven strictly by USD as the price dictator. The 2nd side of an exchange rate moves the 2 sided price inside the exchange rate. This concept has been active since the BOE began in 1694 and Scotland central bank in 1695.

Currency prices are periodic as periods can last for as much as 10 to 12 1/2 years. Inside a 50 year period factors as 12 1/ 2 years per each of 4 quadrants. The modern day since the 1920’s, 12 1/2 years has held steady and on track while 1910’s to 1920’s, periods of 12 1/2 years were severely shortened possibly due to WW1 and /or the changing Gold standards.

Markets are currently in the 4th quadrant or 49th year from the 1972 free float.

The current period is USD dominated since the 2008 crash as risk is not favored. EUR/USD for example since 2014 dropped from `1.3900’s and since 2011 or 10 years dropped from 1.4900’s.

While 12 1/2 years defines 4 quadrant periods, range years exist within 12 years where currency prices don’t move. The magic number is 10 and the 10 year average because it defines an Alignment or Realignment and accounts for dead range years within 12 1/2 year quadrants.

EUR/USD and EUR/JPY from 1998 to 2008 traded above 10 year averages while USD/JPY traded below. EUR/USD and EUR/JPY was correctly aligned as EUR/USD dominated its cross pair by Correlation standards while USD/JPY was the odd currency and failed to correlate to EUR/JPY. Explains how EUR/USD traded to 1.4900’s, EUR/JPY to 169.00’s and USD/JPY to 98.00’s.

This is the defined risk favored market and the first currency in the exchange rate to drive and dictate market prices.

EUR/USD in 2014 broke below its 10 year average at 1.3200’s while USD/JPY and EUR/JPY traded above 10 year averages and EUR/USD became the odd currency. This situation not only favors non risk markets and USD but the 2nd side of the currency pair dictates price moves.

As currency prices edge closer to breaks at 5, 10 and 15 year averages, the question do we see a realignment. A realignment is a market switch to risk favored where EUR/USD will again own and correlate to EUR/JPY and USD/JPY will serve as odd currency. In past years, the 10 year average served as the guide to total realignment.

A Realignment is again defined as a switch to cross pairs as the first side of the exchasnge rate will drive and dictate prices instead of today’s non risk, USD driven and 2nd side to the exchange rate. A Realignmnet is a switch of cross pairs and correlation ownership.

EUR/USD broke its 10 year average at 1.1900s, USD/JPY trades above at 104.00 while question mark EUR/JPY faces the 5 year at 126.18, the 10 year at 124.85 and 15 year at 127.10. Does EUR/JPY break below so EUR/USD owns EUR/JPY or remains above to USD/JPY correlation ownership and a continuation of a USD favored market and 2nd exchange rate as dominator.

if EUR/USD owns EUR/JPY then EUR/USD will skyrocket higher along with EUR/JPY and USD/JPY will drop many miles lower.

Markets are in a tough and questionable period as the question to Realignment looms. Big moves are upon us either way the realignment question materializes.

While EUR/USD, EUR/JPY and USD/JPY served as today’s examples, choose any 3 currency pairs and 10 year averages to define any 3 favored currency pairs to determine a Realignment or switch to cross pair ownership or a possible on hold situation.

EUR/USD, EUR/JPY and USD/JPY served as examples as 3 most widely traded currency pairs by Triennial Surveys.

An on hold situation may result from 3 chosen currency pairs as non market leader currencies. Once a Realignment begins then all currencies fall in line and follow much the same when EUR/USD broke above its 5 year average at 1.1400’s.

Non Normal Currency Markets: 5, 10, 15 Year Averages

Last year, EUR/USD began a short period to lead currency prices by the first currency to break above its 5 year average at 1.1400’s. Then remaining 27 currency pairs adjusted to trade above own respective 5 and 10 year averages. Markets then offered oversold traded to oversold and overbought traded to overbought.

Prior to the EUR/USD break at the 5 year average, markets traded perfectly normal for 2018 and 2019 as all currency pairs traded below 5 year averages. Markets were normal and uniform and all currency pairs were in sync with each other.

The only exception was GBP/USD to trade straight to 1.1900’s without any corrections. It was the only pair off kilter and the reason was the rare day to trade the 9 year currency cycle. GBP/USD had to complete the 9 year currency cycle at 1.1900’s.

Markets for the past few months traded again perfectly normal. However now we are in a period again when 5, 10 and 15 year averages either broke or threatens to break. This explains current markets trading oversold to more oversold and overbought prices traded to more overbought.

Non normal are markets trading oversold to more oversold and overbought to more overbought. We don’t see this often yet it happens, rarely over years but yet it occurs.

Early warning to oversold to oversold and overbought are not only the 5, 10 and 15 year levels but problems to exist inside the price by measure of Noise and problems to ranges. When wide range currency pairs expeience noise problems, then all know, something exists to a market change to trade non normal markets.

Wide range EM currencies also offer an insight. Vast majority of NZD/EM currencies this week were overbought while CAD/EM were oversold and GBP/EM were fairly neutral. Deeply overbought USD/CAD traded higher, deeply oversold NZD/USD traded lower and nothing special to GBP/USD.

Deeply oversold AUD/USD just broke its 5 year average at 0.7322 and explains oversold to more oversold and no correction in sight. NZD/USD at massive oversold just broke its 5 year average at 0.6856. Explains massive overbought to associated pairs to AUD and NZD.

By memory as I haven’t viewed the question to how long can this 5, 10 and 15 year average period last. Easily weeks to recall. But it will depend on the speed to accomplish the intended breaks. And if the actual breaksa occur.

Market entered a highly dangerous period with an unknown duration. Until or unless breaks are seen then trade strategy remains to short USD and long non USD such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD and NZD.

For USD, best trade as usual is USD/CAD. Canada is the last holdout to normal markets and normal interest rates. The remainder nations entered control of interest rates to murder currency price movements. DXY is no different as Fed interest rates turned into a massive joke played upon markets and movements as rates don’t move.

Why to stand clear USD/JPY due to BOJ and Fed rates. Both are turning USD/JPY into a bad joke to movements. Same for USD/CHF by the SNB and FED.

Anyone truly interested, view the SNB’s Debt Register Claims and overniight Tom Next rates. Viewed will see again a massive joke to USD/CHF movements. A long article was written on fxstreet and my blog to know and understand the SNB’s Debt Register Claims for interested. For interested as all will enter the deep seated functioning to the currency price and specifically to USD/CHF.

As written, RBNZ interest rates are to high. RBNZ rates took a giant dive overnight. A raise for the RBNZ was literally impossible.

Respectfully, its been 5 years to trade day trades by interest rates. I’m inside central bank interest rates daily and most times twice daily everyday for 5 years. Its imperative to trade day trades by interest rates for perfection so I must know daily interest rates. And I know all nations extremely well.

RBNZ, Trade Results: NZD/EM, GBP/EM, CAD/EM

As written Sunday, RBNZ interest rates are far to high. The 90 day rate informs to no changes. And, Nothing excited expected for RBNZ. Result is RBNZ is not only on hold but may remain on hold for quite some time. Interest rates remain much to high to consider a raise.

The trading world expected a raise yet no evidence existed to raise or to the multiple raises as many wrote.

One aspect to the RBNZ is to easily qualify as the smartest central bank on the planet. They are smart yet independent and the RBNZ acts in its own best interest rather than willy nilly follow the central bank crowd. in fact, the RBNZ are actually central bank leaders as many follow the RBNZ rather than the RBNZ to follow others.

NZD/USD and NZD/EM due to the covid fall now sits deeply oversold. The vast majority of the NZD/EM trades achieved targets yet much more was gained as NZD/EM participated in the covid drop. Regardless, purpose is targets and entries. Without the Covid drop, targets would’ve achieved as written so th extra pips was a bonus to trader participation on this week’s trades.

GBP/EM and CAD/EM trades also achieved targets and contained the same affects as NZD and NZD/EM as extra pips were granted by participation in the Covid drop to NZD.

CAD/EM also sits deeply oversold as well as select GBP/EM currencies. Correct is either GBP/EM overbought and CAD/EM oversold or CAD/EM overbought and GBP/EM oersold. Correct is to see follow through and universal to overbought and oversold. Vast majority of the most active trades for GBP/EM and CAD/EM re located in European currencies.

Again as in G28 trades, no stops, charts, fibs. Trades are few and profits always very high. A trade begins at entry and ends at target. Extra pips granted on this weeks trades was free money.

CAD/ZAR, CAD/EM and GBP/EM

As written in 18 currency pair trade rankings, USD/EM and EUR/EM wasn’t very appealing this week to trades and reveals a fairly neutral market. A neutral market must then take the next best view and that is found in CAD/ZAR and written many times over the years.

EUR/USD’s perfect opposite currency is CAD/ZAR as CAD/ZAR serves the expression as a USD currency. Over many months this year, EUR/USD and CAD/ZAR were deeply married as movements in both pair contained dead ranges. This is now changing as EUR/USD and CAD/ZAR ranges are opening wide, slowly week to week yet widening. This is encouraging to overall better weekly trades ahead.

EUR/USD as written contains a long only strategy while CAD/ZAR is opposite as a short only strategy. This is the same as saying long EUR/USD and short USD currencies. Viewed from oversold GBP/USD then overbought GBP/ZAR comports to oversold GBP/USD.

We’re short USD/CAD this week as overbought CAD/EM complies to shorts. A comparison from the next set of opposite currencies, GBP/USD V USD/CAD reveals GBP/EM is oversold and overbought for CAD/EM yet not universal throughout all currencies.

The currency system contains 476 currency pairs and its quite easy to view any currency for trade purposes in minutes.

CAD/EM

CAD/EM is much aligned as NZD/EM as the best trades are located in CAD/Europe.
CAD/BRL 4.1905 decides longs and shorts.

CAD/CNY oversold, long 5.1626 and 5.1572 to target 5.1733.
CAD/CZK oversold, long 17.19 and 17.1764 to target 17.2029.

CAD/DKK overbought, short 5.0428 and 5.0472 to target 5.0339.
CAD/HUF oversold, long 238.74 and 238.41 to target 239.18.

CAD/MYR overbought, short 3.3882 and 3.3926 to target 3.3711.
CAD/PLN overbought, short 3.1015 and 3.1052 to target 3.0867.

CAD/ZAR deep overbought, short 11.7549 to target 11.6993.

CAD/EM contains 4 overbought currencies, 3 oversold and 2 undecided.

GBP/EM

GBP/BRL deeply oversold, break 7.2606 targets 7.2369.
GBP/CNY oversold. 8.9809 decides.

GBP/CZK oversold,
GBP/DKK overbought, short 8.7630, targets 8.7447

GBP/HUF, oversold,
GBP/MYR overbought

GBP/PLN, neutral
GBP/RON, neutral,

GBP/TRY oversold
GBP/ZAR overbought.

Where EM becomes interesting this week and non compliant is CAD/EM contains the same trades as GBP/EM and NZD/EM and Europe is where the majority of movements will be seen and fairly neutral for EM/ASIA.

18 Currency Pair Trade Rankings

Trade Rankings EUR/USD, EUR/JPY, EUR/NZD, AUD/JPY, AUD/USD, EUR/AUD, NZD/JPY, NZD/USD, CAD/JPY, USD/CAD, AUD/CHF, NZD/CHF

USD/JPY this week is in a literal do or die situation at 109.49 however all JPY cross pairs are oversold and explains EUR/JPY’s position in second this week. EUR/JPY is followed by AUD/JPY. Least favored is NZD/JPY.

USD/CAD last week traded 99 pips to match EUR/USD and 123 pips 2 weeks ago. CAD/JPY traded 86 pips last week and 144 pips 2 weeks ago.

Oversold EUR/NZD contains divergence to GBP/NZD as GBP/NZD also sits at a literal do or die situation.

AUD/USD will continue to perform perfectly while nothing special to NZD/USD however NZD trades are good but overall profits will falter due to severely compressed ranges for all currency pairs. NZD/USD as lowest exchange rate among 60+ currencies always suffers the effects to dead ranges to wider movement currency pairs.

GBP Trade Rankings

GBP/USD, GBP/AUD, GBP/CHF, GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD and GBP/NZD.

GBP/USD is in a cautionary 1st position as ranges died. GBP/USD traded 105 pips last week and this week won’t see improvements. Recall last week, GBP/USD earned last position and a correct analysis.

Last week’s trade winners as best movers were GBP/CHF, GBP/AUD, GBP/CAD and GBP/NZD. If GBP/USD dies then GBP/JPY naturally follows. GBP/JPY earns middle position to rankings due to a horrible position to begin the week.

Overall, currency markets to include USD/EM and EUR/EM begins the week in neutral positions. The best of USD/EM and EUR/EM trades were taken and profited.

Nothing excited expected for RBNZ. Best NZD/USD shorts targets 0.6979.

EUR/EM and USD/EM Trade Results

On an incredibly dead mover trade week, EUR/USD traded a 69 pip range. As written Sunday, EUR/EM began the week deeply oversold and remains oversold along with EUR/USD. Long only EUR/EM strategies remain and short USD/EM into next week or until proper levels trade.

EUR/CNY longs target 7.6520, Highs 7.6301, +150 pips. Oversold and long into next week to target 7.5420.

Targets never change as they are written in Mathematical stone. Only one Brian Twomey exists as target trading was achieved over 9 years ago as demonstrated many times here. EM currencies move far and wide and even on dead G28 trade weeks. Profits are huge however a sincerely good trade strategy is required.

EUR/CZK longs Target 25.4697, highs 25.4442, miss by 6 pips. Remains oversold. Long into next week.

EUR/HRK Longs Target 7.5107, Highs 7.5061

USD/ZAR shorts target 14.5906, Lows 14.5790. Massive overbought into next week.

Brian Twomey

GBP/AUD, EUR/AUD, USD/CHF, EUR, SNB

EUR/USD all week traded at deep oversold and trades currently at richter scale oversold. Long only strategy until at least middle 1.1800’s as written. Then possibly shorts may work. No downside exists for EUR and shorts are impossible.

Same story for AUD however AUD/USD yesterday and into this trade day stands fairly neutral which means AUD could trade a bit lower then long drops and shorts at 0.7400’s.
NZD/USD was a bit top heavy yesterday and slightly overbought so we are long at lower levels.
EUR/AUD wider ranges by AUD/EUR are located at 1.6025 to 1.5862. A break at 1.5880 then look out below EUR/AUD.

GBP/AUD by AUD/GBP ranges informs 1.8932 to 1.8740.

The strategy for both EUR/AUD and GBP/AUD is short only as much downside exists. A sucker’s bet to target 1.9137 at the 50 Fib and more gambles to go long. Gimme a break.
Dead USD/JPY dropped 49 pips this week, 41 pips for USD/CHF and 58 pips for USD/CAD. Short only for USD.

USD/CHF at richter scale overbought and moved only 40 ish pips this week. The question is what’s the problem. CHF/USD informs a range from 0.9265 to 0.9171. From the SNB and 3 month Libor then the range becomes 0.9201 to 0.9125.

The SNB’s Overnight Rate Saron moved barely 3 points since January. Call Money rates haven’t changed since July 2020 and vital vital Debt Register Claims moved 8 points since January.
2 aspects are working against USD/CHF movements. Dead USD interest rates and completely dead SNB interest rates. Both sides cut off USD/CHF movements.

if underlying Interest rates contains a problem then it immediately reflects on the currency price. Interest rates for the most part operate correctly from nation to nation but problems occur from time to time. Much the same written a few years ago to AUD/USD and RBA interest rates lack correlations. This could easily be the case for the SNB and USD/CHF. But it won’t be known explicitly until the data is ran and viewed.

The only strategy for USD/CHF is remain short and short any tops as USD/CHF contains a long way to drop. We;re looking at at least 100 pips and coincides to higher EUR/USD 100 pips to at least middle 1.1800’s.

Overall strategies remain into next week or until proper exchange rates trade.

Gold, DXY, EUR/USD

The responsibility for Gold’s move was 1839. Inflation was known since June and the virus was known every second of everyday for 1 1/2 years. The Democrats won’t allow us to forget it as much mileage is gained to torture America piece by piece.

The Democrats haven’t changed one iota since the 1860’s except they grew more sophisticated to overall destructive strategies by implementation of the Soviet Union model to America’s complete takeover. The strategy is brilliant and working to absolute perfection without a shot fired nor civil war will be seen. Once complete, Democrats will export the model for implementation to other nations.

While Gold dropped, DXY traveled higher and coincided to 1839 Gold on a break of 92.89.
The battle lines are drawn. EUR/USD, AUS/USD and NZD/USD trade at richter scale oversold while USD/CHF and USD/JPY trade massive overbought and correct for USD/CAD to sit idle yet overbought. Rare day for USD/CAD to join the pack against USD/CHF and USD/JPY.

The only strategy is long EUR/USD, AUD/USD and NZD/USD and short USD/CHF, USD/JPY and USD/CAD as a massive divide exists between USD and non USD to currency market exchange rates.

EUR/USD should trade at lower to middle 1.1800’s, AUD/USD to lower to middle 0.7400’s and NZD/USD to middle 0.7000’s, USD/CHF to middle 0.9100’s.

EUR/USD and NZD/USD lead as AUD/USD and GBP/USD are follower currencies to EUR/USD and NZD/USD.
GBP/USD Broke below 1.3885 and as usual remains the oddball currency but GBP/USD rarely leads. GBP/USD must break 1.3885 to trade higher.

How about this fact. A true 5 and 10 day average is mathematically impossible to trade and profit from day trades. Shows the true reality to new central bank day trade scales to prevent market movements. But this is also the reality to year 49 of the free float currency and as mentioned many times over the years, hurry and profit due to price slowdown. Now its here.

Gold: Levels, Ranges and Targets

The last Gold trade was written and taken about 2 months ago. Short 1815 to target 1.1728 for 87 points in 2 days.

Gold 3 days broke vital vital 1839.59 and traveled to 1711 for 147 points.
Requirements for this trade as was the criteria 2 months ago was short the break of the monthly average or 12 numbers at 1839.

The target 2 months ago was the next average at 1728. Today’s next average is 1747. Gold broke this average to trade to 1711.

Note 2 months ago 87 points Vs today 147. The first monthly average rose by 2 points while the lower average rose by 19 points.

If 24 numbers were known in advance then traders had an easy trade of at least 90 points. Sorry I missed the trade as I just ran through the numbers but I would’ve bailed at 1747 for 90 points. The break 0f 1747 to 1711 I would’ve meant long to target 1747 or the break above for more points and profits.

The only difference between Gold 2 months ago and today is ranges expanded slightly but only slightly.

Here’ Gold’s lineup: 1510.03 at the 5 year average then 557.30, 1615.43, 1747.80 and 1839.59.
Gold’s major malfunction is it trades above its 5 year average at 1510 and DXY trades below its 5 year average at 95.00’s. Both DXY and Gold are mispositioned as both must trade above or below 5 year averages. This misposition is a few years old.

The Gold standard was active as a market trade vehicle for 1000 years therefore its customary by legacy standardd for a nation’s currency to correlate to the nation’s Gold price. EUR/USD must correlate to EUR /Gold, GBP to GBP /Gold and AUD/USD to AUD/GOLD.

The strategy moving forward is short tops. Key points are 1730.79, 1756.74 and 1778.56. Bet a Fib number won’t be found here nor in the vital averages.

From USD/XAU and today’s Fed, the larger range is located from 2000 to 1515.15. USD/XAU 16 points predicts 500 points. Traders see big numbers as 1730.57 while USD/XAU factors as 0.00050 to 0.00058. Easier numbers.

Flash crash, volatility are wrong terms as Gold was a very normal priced movement based on the averages. To the unsuspected traders to Gold’s move, we can add calamitous, cataclysmic, catastrophic, market crash. Poor traders are up against the same old tired stories from the same tired people and this can’t be stopped as the proliferation is far to great. Traders must be extraordinarily careful who to follow and trust.

EUR Vs EM Currency Trades and Targets

EUR viewed from EM currencies as EUR/EM sits this week massively oversold and many pairs exist to fit the criteria. EUR/EM massive oversold complements and confirms equal overbought from USD/EM. Trade action, big profits and easy trades are seen most specifically in EM markets either as short USD/EM or long EUR/EM.

Long EUR/USD strategies over past weeks resulted in correct trades, analysis and a smart strategy. No analysis nor thoughts are involved this week to long EUR/USD nor to its position as first among the first 12 currency pairs.

G28 and EM currencies are all connected and interrelated to each other and not total separate markets as if both were separate planets. Its not the case. EM currencies contain wide ranges and move far and wide while G28 currencies move slow and not very far. Easier to view EM as overbought / oversold than G28 therefore easier to see great trades for EM but also direction to G28.

Practically every EUR/EM currency sits deeply oversold. Take your pick.
EUR/BRL not much happening to EUR/BRL nor USD/BRL.

EUR/CNY Long targets 7.6520 for +300 pips.
EUR/CZK Targets 25.4697 easily.

EUR/DKK Nothing here but overbought USD/DKK only trade short. Good advice: never trade EUR/DKK only USD/DKK.

EUR/HRK longs target 7.5107 and short USD/HRK was posted.
EUR/HUF targets 355.49

EUR/ILS Longs target 3.8270
EUR/INR Massive oversold targets 88.13

EUR/MXN targets 23.77 and don’t bother to trade EUR/MXN

EUR/MYR nothing here

EUR/PLN Shorts target 4.5623, better trade short USD/PLN.

EUR/AUD moves to 4th position from second last week in favor of oversold AUD/USD and AUD/JPY. The question to AUD is easy trades and most profits and AUD fits the criteria Vs EUR/AUD. AUD is the preferred pair to this week as ranges are good and normal in comparison to counterparts. Last week AUD/USD and AUD/JPY held 4th and 5th positions.

Overbought USD/CAD moves to 5th position from 9th last week. Recall last week’s written words: USD/CAD this week isn’t a terrible trade yet USD/CAD ranges this week died and the position to CAD/JPY isn’t the best to location for both trades.

Last week’s analysis to USD/CAD and CAD/JPY was correct as USD/CAD ranged 127 pips last week to CAD/JPY 147. Rare days when CAD/JPY outperforms USD/CAD. The opposite must hold for a normal relationship.

Oversold NZD/USD, NZD/JPY and NZD/CHF moves from 8, 9 and 10th position last week to 6 and 7 for NZD/USD and NZD/JPY and 11th position this week for NZD/CHF from 10th position last week. NZD/CHF joins with AUD/CHF as nothing going on with both pairs to easy trades and trade profits.

EUR/NZD moves to 8th position this week from 3rd position last week despite massive oversold. EUR/NZD contains not only range problems but is divergent to GBP/NZD. EUR.NZD moved 343 pips last week to 302 for GBP/NZD.

Same story this week as last to JPY cross pairs as all will trade a bit higher then much lower along with USD/JPY. USD/CHF moves to overbought this week from deeply oversold last week and prior weeks.

DXY 92.78 and USD/CHF contains this week a 135 pip spread and down 23 pips from last week. Better moves for DXY and USD currencies will be seen when the spread tightens as USD/CHF must marry DXY to move.

AS EUR/USD remains long only strategies, USD/CAD contains a short only strategy and complies to a vast majority of overbought USD/EM currencies.

Overall, hardly any changes week to week. Written is more about hype and public relations than anything sensible to markets and movements. Trade Rankings reshuffles currencies from the same deck of cards.
