remember my previous rand idea, this is what it is based on. Daily timeframe we sold around 19 rands, because we had just completed a correction cycle Y which is a top when looking on the weekly timeframe. From 19.80 rands we have been in a sideways correction, so for the correction cycle to be complete, we need to break below 17.60 and break above it again,...
Based on the previous idea this is what i was referring to. check the related ideas section.
The exotic pair of the U.S. Dollar to South African Rand (USD/ZAR) has not correlated strongly with other USD pairs since this year. In fact, the USD is down 1.3% against the ZAR since the beginning of the year, all the while, the USD index has been super bullish, up 6.1% YTD. While performing better than the GBP, EUR, and other major partners, the USD is still...
as you can see the Head and shoulder pattern already formed. now we looking for sell entries.
Based on the signals, it looks like the odds are in favor of a weakening rand.
for a South African citizen, global assets are essential given the fact that the South African market only constitutes around 1% of the global market whilst the South African economy constitutes 0.4% of the global economy. Simply put, South African need exposure to assets which are susceptible to short term movements in the Rand. The chart shows the ZAR/USD...
Hi Everyone Been a while since I've posted on my account here! I felt like doing something different today (other than crypto) after someone asked me about USDZAR / Forex. Even if you're not into this specific trading pair, watch the video anyway, I mention some really interesting points that you can apply to your other chart pairs like fib time zones etc. The...
Medium-term bullish trend still seems to be intact for the USDZAR, after its recent weaknesses (strength in the US Dollar). It currently finds itself back at the 50-day Moving Average (EMA), with a break and close below R14.07, bringing back the strong support level at R13.95. This is a strong support level, with a break lower, most probably bringing back R13.50...
The strength in the rand is partly due to the high demand in commodities of which South Africa is a large exporter. It is also partly due to the fact that South African government bonds are offering high real yields compared to that of its peers. These factors feed the demand for the rand and thus resulting i a stronger currency. There is also the case of a...
As we zoom out and look closely at the South African Rand, we see many signs of strength that have been building for some time now. I believe the ZAR and many other emerging currencies are all showing similar signs of strength and in the process of a reversal. While this may provide a great long trade and a short-term boost to the Peso, I fear it will have...
Accurately and reliably forecasting a currency is near impossible, however, its easy to have an opinion. The question is, what do you base your opinion on? As a South African, I follow the rand closely, particularly against the US dollar and the pound. One can use a purchasing power parity (PPP) or real effective exchange rate (REER) chart to calculate a "fair...
USDZAR Opportunity - Bullish Divergence Quick Reversal Expected post 1 more low for short period of time -
Two points of confirmation for entry. Third Point is below cloud zone.
Potential short setup on USDZAR after breaking out of the channel and retesting it. Also, take note of the ending diagonal after the breakout and retest.
