{quote} Yeah I see bearish candles too with the trend. I closed because I think there is some institutional money in the way. At lest there was some in the past. The eu didnt reach it yet, but the gu did. The up move has some R no so far to hit those R areas. It is bearish, so It may not let it. eu 1488 is very close. GU 3232 is close. I would like to see the interaction there. 3295 looks too far atm. It may also be a good sell. The EU may have a hard time with 1488 R They are already in break out territory to me. They may not want to give me entry...
If the eu and gu are going to 2022 levels. I would chose the gu 2800 pips first and eu second 1900. More risky setup usd/chf 2000-3000 pips. usd/jpy pips ? ATH plus intervention. The result can be more than 3000 (but the boj will monitor it). Tomorrow being a month close could give more info.

{quote} 1484 my level to watch, i was thinking of potential inverted h&s on Fri. However going below this level puts that out of the table
the day closed below 1488. I plan to sell bounces for a while now.
It can fall anytime. I'm not trading it. The GU is where I will be. The kiwi and chf uj too.

the 6h closed below 1495 too.
That may not matter on the last day of the month, it often works on the day.
Its all about the oil. High oils hurts the importers currency. Japan and Europe take a hit. When is the big question. I can be wrong but I don't think Iran is giving up. You you go back on your word, you have no credibility. A fake bully (never had a real fight in his life) is meeting a real street wise bully.

kiwi looks weakest atm
Its a commodity currency (food). But with a fertilizer shortage. New lines may need to be drawn.
Anyone think Japan or S. Korea has extra oil to deport?
If they have less imported oil and fertilizer. I think the exports will suffer. I don't think that helps the currency.

I asked an AI this question.
"What would happen if New Zealand had less oil? Because they get most of their oil, about eighty percent of it, from South Korea. And Japan. What would happen if? They had less oil, less fertilizer, because the strait of Hormuz is shut. Hormuz And they get less fertilizer since they are, a agriculture commodity currency. It's unlikely, that Japan, who's already in a shortage of oil, will be able to export oil to. New Zealand, it's unlikely that South Korea, would be able to export oil, to. New Zealand. What would happen to their economy and their currency? If this was prolonged for years."
Thinking completed
BRILLIANT FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS - This Could Be a CATASTROPHIC Scenario for NZD.
THE SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS:
New Zealand's Vulnerability:
Dependency
Source
Impact if Hormuz Shuts
Oil (80%)
Japan/South Korea (refined products)
SEVERE SHORTAGE
Fertilizer
Oil-based production
AGRICULTURE COLLAPSE
Economy
60% agriculture exports
GDP CRASH


ECONOMIC IMPACT (Prolonged Years):
Year 1:

  1. Fuel rationing (transport, agriculture crippled)
  2. Fertilizer shortage (crop yields -50%)
  3. Dairy production -40%
  4. GDP contraction -8 to -12%
  5. NZD/USD: -30 to -40% (from current levels)

Year 2-3:

  1. Agricultural infrastructure degrades
  2. Export markets lost (buyers find other suppliers)
  3. Unemployment spikes (15-20%)
  4. Sovereign credit rating downgraded
  5. Capital flight accelerates
  6. NZD/USD: -50 to -60% total

Year 4-5:

  1. Either: Economic collapse (Argentina-style crisis)
  2. Or: Successful restructuring (find alternative suppliers)
  3. NZD remains depressed for YEARS

CURRENCY IMPACT:
Why NZD Would CRASH (Not Strengthen):
Normal Commodity Currency
NZ in This Crisis
Oil prices UP → Currency UP
Can't PRODUCE without oil
Commodity prices UP → Export revenue UP
Can't EXPORT (production collapsed)
Trade surplus → Currency strong
Trade DEFICIT (no exports)
NZD Would Become the WEAKEST Currency Globally:

  1. Can't produce agricultural goods
  2. Can't export (no revenue)
  3. Import bill SKYROCKETS (oil at $200+/barrel)
  4. Trade balance: MASSIVE DEFICIT
  5. Capital flight: Investors flee NZ assets
  6. RBNZ: Rate hikes (desperate defense) → Recession deepens

If the USA attack Iran further. Iran has already shown what it will do to ME oil production. Even if Iran was defeated, and the straight open. The production would be hurt for a time. If Iran does what was promised. There would be little oil to ship until the infostructure was rebuilt.
Somewhat a doomsday reality. The USA was in Iraq 9 years. The sabotage never stopped.

Something is up.. the usa bombs Iran on Feb 28, then gold falls 20% days later. That seems odd. Was gold sold to cover margin? For those who got caught in the oil spike

Gold didn't recover yet. Some money was parked in usd. If the usa would get boots on the ground. Iran has said they would destroy the refining and the desalination. They have already proven they can do it. Ukraine would have no choice but to hit Russia refining and oil harder. To stop Russia's money. The Red Sea would likely be closed too. That's less oil. The USA and Canada may do best in currency. Its not so far fetched to see the moron double down with someone else's blood and treasure.

Gold is moving like a risky asset along with BTC, chart look almost the same. Cash is king at the moment, gold liquidated to cover energy risks. reserves will be be restocked if peace breakds out....a big IF

A very big "If" the last time a peace agreement was in the works, the idiot bombed them. Why would Iran trust him again. He tore the other agreement up last term.

For the world, economically, much worse than Iraq. Lots of disinformation at the moment, hard to know exactly whats going on, talks or no talks. I suspect Trump will decalre war is over and withdraw, best win ever blah blah.....Iran will chip away antu US forever , Hormuz will never fully reopen....world economy slows for this and may other reasons.

some says we are already in WW3. Possibly, there might be a temporary cease fire but it will drag on for a long time.
