AUD/NZD: When is the time to sell? ⏱
Hello traders,
TECHNICALS:
The pair reached multi-month lows and continued to trade in a healthy downtrend, although the current fall looks somewhat overextended. Selling volume is rising, but institutional players haven't had the opportunity to square up their books just yet, which is why I expect a pullback to the liquidity zone.
POSITIONING:
Short positioning is reaching extreme levels in leveraged money in NZD, increasing the risk of a short-squeeze. Leveraged money remains bullish on AUD, but the net long positioning has been falling with the latest CoT report.
CORRELATIONS:
AU and NZ 2-year yield differentials point at further weakness, as well as AU/NZ stock indices. Chart here.
FUNDAMENTALS:
RBA Governor Lowe doesn't see rate hikes for the next three years. The Aussie dollar fell after the RBA meeting, but tensions with China, a major trading partner of Australia, is also hurting the currency.
UPCOMING ECONOMIC REPORTS:
RBA Gov Lowe speaks on Wednesday, 12:00 am London time. Expect some volatility here, ideally to the liquidity zone for a short position.
== SUMMARY ==
Waiting for a pullback to around 1.0550 before entering short, ideally supported by volume.
