Price is consolidating between support  level 62.011 and resistance level 62.308, with price testing the  resistance level. Sell bias is possible in the nearest term. If price  pushes up breaking the resistance level a bullish reversal may happen.  If price makes a break below resistance the bearish trend may continue  and validate the bias for this pair. RSI (14) shows price is within the  neutral zone, suggesting the bearish trend may sustain its momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Alligator Feeding on USDCHF&#8217;s Bearish Trend<\/p>\n<p>Since  the double top reversal pattern of USDCHF pair noted last week, the  pair has been continuously striding down. At the opening of today&#8217;s  session, the price level opened at 0.9580. The initial price is not the  pair&#8217;s resistance level. Seven candle sticks after at H1 chart, the pair  had a bearish breakout. The fall went further down as the following  candle stick tries to create new support level at 0.9542. In the  previous trade, an Elliot wave was perceived at H1 chart. Before the  trade ended yesterday, the price level had a reversal which only reached  50 percent of wave iii using the Fibonacci retracement. Today, if  Elliot wave will be followed, at the time of writing, the pair is at  wave i. Chances are, the trend is still pursuing a bearish market. For  three days now, the %R (14) is lingering at an oversold level. It tried  to go away but only reached values between -60 and -50. The fluctuating  increases are most likely to be corrections only. However, once the  signal touches a little above -50, there is a slight chance of a bullish  reversal. To further test the downward trend, the Alligator indicator  strongly indicates a sell activity as the lips of the gator is placed  under its teeth. The distances of each part are significant and there  are no clues that the gator will sleep at any time today.<\/p>\n<p>Recent Quake Weakens Kiwi<\/p>\n<p>The  Kiwi is possibly looking at a downward trend against US dollar as  reports show that New Zealand is experiencing a slow economic growth.  The stall in their economy is due to the lagging of their housing and  manufacturing sector. The lagging began when the nation&#8217;s worst  earthquake in eight decades occurred last September 4. The quake  measured a magnitude 7 and it shook Christchurch city. It is only now  that the aftermath is felt since as indicators for the third quarter  were released.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the sluggish growth adds to the case for  central bank Governor Alan Bollard to keep interest rates unchanged to  revitalize consumer confidence from a 17-month low and shore up housing  demand. As a result, the Kiwi is being pushed further down. Economists  say that New Zealand&#8217;s currency might show more weakness next year.<\/p>\n<p>However,  the NZD can possibly experience an increase if ever something  market-moving happens to Australia and Japan. If something negative  happens, traders will most likely consider NZD as Asia&#8217;s currency safe  haven; similar with what happened to the Swissie.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion,  the news scattered today indicates that the Kiwi is likely to  depreciate. The recommendation is quite strong as economists are also  stating likewise.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Forex Signs, Inc., Founded in 2006 in Wall Street, New  York City, FSI relentlessly strives to be the premier Forex brokerage  company in the industry by providing exclusive and unmatched trading and  investment related services while constantly developing innovative  solutions that cater to the vast requirements of both individual and  institutional market participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NZDJPY has formed a bearish trend after yesterday&#8217;s price went up to 62.599 but closed at 62.107.
