USDCHFM30.png

Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is to trade in a higher range. It is underpinned by the positive dollar sentiment (ICE spot dollar index hit nine-year high 94.497 overnight, last at 94.21 versus 92.75 early Thursday) on divergent U.S. monetary policy stance versus other major central banks, negative Swiss interest rates, and threat of SNB CHF-selling intervention. But USD/CHF gains are tempered by the positions adjustment ahead of the weekend.


Technical comment:
Daily chart is mixed as MACD is in bearish mode, but stochastics is neutral, inside-day-range pattern was completed on Thursday.


Trading recommendations:

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a higher range as far as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price is keeping above its pivot point, a long position is recommended with the first target at 0.8780 and the second target at 0.8840. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short posisitions are recommended with the first target at 0.8445. A break of this target would push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 0.8360. The pivot point is at 0.8520.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for January 23, 2015 Market Analysis Review

NZDUSDM30.png

Fundamental overview:
NZD/USD is expected to consolidate with a bearish bias after hitting a two-and-a-half year low at 0.7476 on Thursday. It is undermined by the expectations that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will leave rates on hold longer after soft New Zealand 4Q CPI and surprise interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada. NZD/USD is also weighed by the positive dollar sentiment and Kiwi sales on buoyant AUD/NZD cross. But NZD/USD losses are tempered by the positive global risk sentiment and positions adjustment ahead of the weekend. Daily chart is negative-biased as MACD and slow stochastic indicators are bearish, five and 15-day moving averages are declining.
