FX Review FxTaTrader Weekly Strategy Week 34 / Sunday 16-August-2015

In this article I will provide my view on the GBP/NZD and the AUD/USD. These are the pairs that I am currently interested in or was interested in last weeks for trading with the FxTaTrader weekly strategy. I will pick one to analyse in more detail from the pairs that have not been discussed recently.

Open/pending positions of last weeks

AUD/USD

This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Wk31 where the pair was tipped for going short.
Positions were opened for this pair and one was closed with profit. Unfortunately the second positions was closed on August 10 because of the strong pullback.
The trend is still down, however the momentum has to come back for taking short positions again.
From a longer term perspective the pair succeeded on July 3 to close and break through the lows of March and April at 0,7535. Since then it remains an interesting pair for taking short positions.
The AUD is one of the weakest currencies with a currency score of 3 being above the CAD(2) and the NZD(1). The USD is at the moment one of strongest currency with a score of 6 being below the EUR(7) and the GBP(8).

• On the weekly(decision) chart the indicators are looking strong for going short.
• In the weekly chart the Ichimoku is meeting all the conditions.
• The MACD is in negative area but the histogram is rising and the MACD is consolidating.
• The Parabolic SAR is short and showing the preferred pattern of lower stop loss on opening of new long and short positions.

Possible positions for coming week

GBP/NZD

This pair will be analyzed in detail. The pair is clearly in an uptrend and it is gaining momentum. From a longer term perspective it broke through a previous significant resistance around 2,1030 on May 11. It is a pair to monitor in the coming week and it is again around a resistance level at 2,400. Once this level gets broken with an increase of momentum it becomes interesting.

• As can be seen in the Currency Score chart in my previous article of this weekend the GBP has a score of 8 and the NZD a score of 1. 
• In the current Ranking and Rating list of this weekend the pair has a rank of 1. This list is used as additional information besides the Currency score and the Technical Analysis charts.
• Besides the general information mentioned the outlook in the TA charts also makes this an attractive opportunity.

Weekly Currency score: Up
Based on the currency score the pair looked interesting since the end of May. The USD is a strong currency from a longer term perspective and after the pullback in May it found the uptrend again. The AUD is a weak currency from a longer term perspective and it remains weak. This offers an opportunity. With currently a Score difference of 7 and the USD being better classified it is an interesting pair for taking positions in the coming week.

• The Ichimoku is meeting all the conditions.
