To recap the movement for EURNZD last week, the pair traded lowerafter a bearish pinbar on the weekly chart from the previous week as the EUR remains pretty much weaker, after the Fed raised rates and economic figures from Europe came in mixed.
Monday and Tuesday saw the EUR/NZD trade lower, after which traded pretty much sideways as commodity currencies took a hit, as crude oil fell to the lowest levels since the 2009 financial crisis. Current within a range between 1.6240 and 1.6020, we need to see a break below the low's last week for further downside moves. The speed of the current decline seems to be respecting the 21 EMA on the 4hr chart, and we will use this as a guideline for our stop levels, which is currently placed near 1.6235.
With a pretty quiet week for major economicc data coming up, the pair is likely to consolidate within the range, which is why we plan not to move our stops relative to the 21 EMA for this week. We will need to watch what happens at the 1.6020 lows of last week as a failure to break below, will form a double bottom formation, leading to a recovery for EUR/NZD, back towards 1.6400.
Fundamentally, NZD seems to be bearish but the medium term outlook should allow the NZD to improve slightly, from previous comments about interest rate cuts being put on hold, and GDP results in line with expectations. We are however, worried about EUR strengthening, as the bearish cycle of the EUR decline seems to be coming to an end.
We would like to see EUR/USD break below 1.0800 for further declines, which is highly likely, given that the Fed has tightened, and renewed dollars should push the EUR lower, as it is still structurally weak.
