NZD/CAD Longs at Risk on Approach of Key Resistance at 9200

NZD/CAD Longs at Risk on Approach of Key Resistance at 9200

  • NZD/CAD approaching critical Fibonacci resistance range
  • Updated targets & invalidation levels

NZDCAD Daily

Chart prepared by Michael Boutros

Broader Technical Outlook: NZDCAD is coming into a key region of technical resistance at the confluence of the 1.618% extension of the ascent off the yearly lows and the 61.8% retracement of the December decline at 9204/07. Although the broader outlook remains weighted to the topside, the rally is vulnerable heading into this threshold and we’ll be looking for a pullback to offer more favorable long-entries. Key near-term support is eyed at the convergence of the 2015 open & a median-line parallel at 9043.

Avoid the pitfalls of near-term trading strategies by steering clear of classic mistakes. Review these principles in the "Traits of SuccessfulTraders” series.

NZDCAD 30min

Notes: The pair has been trading within the confines of a well-defined ascending channel fomation with channel suppoort converging on the 50% retracement a 9091 heading into the overnight session. Keep in mind the weekly opening-range low comse in at 9059 with our bullish invalidation level set to the 2015 open at 9043.

From a trading standpoint, I would be looking for an exahustion high / short-triggers on a move into key resistance at 9204/07 for a pullback into slope support. A breach above 9225 would be needed to keep the topside bias in play with such a scenario targeting 9300 & 9365. A quarter of the daily average true range (ATR) yields profit targets of 22-26 pips per scalp. The economic docket is rather light heading into the close of the week with markets fully focused on tomorrow’s critical U.K. referendum.
