I think NZDUSD could test 0.8788 before it corrects itself. I'm short from 0.8645, so a drop from here would be good

Why shorting against the trend? Trying to pick a top when NZD trends is risky - better enjoy the ride. I had been burned by NZD a few times before I learned to respect its trends
Just look at up and down moves in your plot in Dec 2011 and May 2012. When this baby trends it goes the whole way)

I have just caught 120 pips shorting EUR/NZD. That beast is going towards 1.50, if longing against USD looks too scary

For sure. Definitely not trying to pick a top

Just a tester short. My stop is at 0.8680. If it hits I have a Buy order that will trigger at 0.8680 and then ride it till 0.8788.

Cheers

When the down trend forms - then it is safe to follow) At this time it's wishful thinking. I am not saying it can't turn down - we just have to see it happen first.

AUD/NZD is in fact an interesting and safe pair to trade. Mostly because the two currencies are coupled when external global forces - like risk aversion and risk appetite, JPY and EUR surprises - govern the trends.
AUD/NZD is a Forex safe haven in such times)

Yes AUD/NZD is a pair that I love when i trade manually, but my automated strategy is based on the strengths of currencies and aud and nzd are often side by side.

When a rare signal appears is usually for large move such as previous.

Getting closer to a major support level. Better to bank 1/2 at this stage. Just my opinion. I closed 3/4 from my short.

Yep. That's what I'm waiting on before buying long term. To see if it does a retest. My Gann chart view of this pair.

The Dow Jones has surged last 2 hours (again) makes me think we haven't seen the last of the strength for the Kiwi.

Thanks. Whenever I draw up a Gann chart on the weekly, I just wait for price to get to a level on there and only trade the weekly open. I'll put buy stops and sell stops in, and let price come to me. Last week, when I did that, I got stopped out on my first one, just to see price reverse, and my other order got triggered. Then I was in profit. Notice now, where the wick is, right on the one line, (EUR/NZD), and where current price is at, right on the other support line. If I were to go long now, sure enough, price would reverse and I'd get stopped out. So, I'm just going to wait until the end of the week, and see where it closes at, then go from there with stop orders.

Another thing that I do, to look for a potential top or bottom on a pair is with fib ratios, mainly the golden ratio. Normally, a new trader comes to the markets, and tries out the fib retracement tool. The web sites or trading books tells the trader to connect a bottom with a top, in an uptrend, etc........ but what I do is connect a swing top with the next swing top, in an uptrend, to look for the next potential top out, when dealing with the golden ratio (1.618). (Thinking outside of the box type of mentality). And look at where price is currently at on the NZD/USD weekly chart below. I will be watching where it closes at the end of the week, then will be looking to short it below the golden ratio.

No fundamental reason for a 74 pip spike unless they are clearing out orders. It's kind of silly. {image}
Kind of expected prior of US unemployment numbers release and it was assumed already negative hence easy profit taking for institutional money.
I am more curious for the next move.
Interesting to see how NZ central bank reacts next week.
