NZD/USD: the New Zealand dollar is building on the strong "bullish" momentum that formed in the middle of last week 14.04.2025

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on NZD/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The New Zealand dollar is showing moderate gains in the NZD/USD pair during the Asian session, extending the strong "bullish" momentum formed in the middle of last week. The instrument is testing 0.5860 for a breakout, updating local highs from December 10, despite the fact that not the most optimistic macroeconomic statistics were published in New Zealand today.

Thus, the Business NZ PSI remained at 49.1 points in March, Electronic Card Retail Sales in monthly terms fell by 0.8% after growing by 0.3% the month before, and in annual terms the negative dynamics slowed from –4.2% to –1.6%, while Visitor Arrivals in February fell from 13.4% to 1.1%. In turn, the instrument is supported by data from China, which continues to wage an active trade confrontation with the United States against the backdrop of recently introduced import duties. China's Export volumes in March rose sharply from 2.3% to 12.4%, while analysts had expected 4.4%, while Imports fell by 4.3% after –8.4% in February, with a forecast of 2.0%, while the trade surplus in March still fell from 170.51 billion dollars to 102.64 billion dollars with preliminary estimates of 77.0 billion dollars.

Today, at 19:00 (GMT+2), the US Federal Reserve representative Christopher Waller will speak, and at 22:00 (GMT+2), Patrick Harker will speak. Investors continue to evaluate the US statistics released last week: the Producer Price Index in March slowed from 3.2% to 2.7%, contrary to the forecast of 3.3%, and the Core PPI — from 3.5% to 3.3%, while experts expected 3.6%. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index fell from 52.6 points to 47.2 points in April, significantly worse than market expectations of 50.8 points, while the Consumer Confidence Index fell from 57.0 points to 50.8 points, compared to preliminary estimates of 54.5 points.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger Bands are gradually reversing to the ascending plane. The price range is expanding, but at the moment it is difficult to keep up with the surge in "bullish" sentiment. MACD grows, preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). In addition, the indicator is testing the zero level for a breakout. Stochastic retains an uptrend, but is located in close proximity to its highs, which points to the risk of overbought New Zealand dollar in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 0.5860, 0.5888, 0.5920, 0.5950.
Support levels: 0.5830, 0.5800, 0.5775, 0.5750.

Trading tips

Long positions can be opened after a breakout of 0.5860 with the target of 0.5920. Stop-loss — 0.5830. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

A rebound from 0.5860 as from resistance, followed by a breakdown of 0.5830 may become a signal for opening of new short positions with the target at 0.5775. Stop-loss — 0.5860.

XAG/USD: investors continue to lock in some of their profitable positions, expecting a price correction 24.04.2025

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on XAG/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The XAG/USD pair is showing a slight decline during the morning session, holding near 33.40. The day before, the instrument demonstrated confident growth and also updated local highs from April 3, which was the market’s reaction to the growing global tension.

In particular, investors were disappointed with the results of the talks between representatives of the US and other countries in London, aimed at developing a mechanism for settling the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, since the meeting was more of a formality due to the sharp decline in its status. Meanwhile, the April business activity statistics from the US published the day before turned out to be mixed: the S&P Global Services PMI fell sharply from 54.4 points to 51.4 points, with a forecast of 52.8 points, while the Manufacturing PMI rose from 50.2 points to 50.7 points, while analysts expected 49.4 points. In turn, the Composite PMI was adjusted from 53.5 points to 51.2 points. The US dollar received some support from data on New Home Sales, which rose steadily by 7.4% in March after 3.1% the previous month, and the absolute figure rose from 0.674 million to 0.724 million, ahead of expectations of 0.680 million.

The rise in US manufacturing activity is quite positive for the XAG/USD pair, given the precious metal's recent tight market. It is likely that as economic conditions improve in the US, Europe and China, the silver shortage will only increase, as current supply dynamics are clearly not keeping up with demand. The Silver Institute forecasts that global demand for the metal in 2025 will be around 1.20 billion ounces, while global supply may only increase to 1.05 billion ounces.

A correction continues in the market of silver contracts. According to a report from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), last week the number of net speculative positions in silver decreased to 43.9 thousand from 46.5 thousand the week before. Investors continue to lock in some of their profitable positions, expecting price adjustments. According to the report on positions secured by real money, the balance for the "bulls" is 35.584 thousand against 12.255 thousand for the "bears". Last week, buyers increased the number of contracts by 1.018 thousand, and sellers decreased by 0.381 thousand, which indicates that levels are fixed after the global close of positions.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands on the daily chart show a sharp increase. The price range expands, freeing a path to new local highs for the "bulls". MACD grows, preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). The indicator has already consolidated above the zero level. Stochastic, which had been declining at the beginning of the current week, has once again turned towards growth, approaching the level of "80", which signals significant risks of silver being overbought in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 33.75, 34.26, 34.57, 34.86.
Support levels: 33.42, 33.11, 32.72, 32.27.

Trading tips

Short positions may be opened after a breakdown of 33.11 with the target at 32.27. Stop-loss — 33.50. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

The return of the "bullish" trend with the breakout of 33.75 may become a signal for new purchases with the target of 34.57. Stop-loss — 33.30.

Technical indicators maintain an unstable sell signal: fast EMAs on the Alligator indicator are approaching the signal line from below, and the AO histogram is forming ascending bars below the transition level.

Trading tips

USD/JPY: consolidation at local highs in anticipation of Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting 28.04.2025

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/JPY for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The US dollar is showing flat dynamics in the USD/JPY pair in Asia, holding near 143.50 and local highs from April 14. Market participants are in no hurry to open new positions in anticipation of the emergence of price movement drivers. On Wednesday, at 14:15 (GMT+2), the US will release a report from Automatic Data Processing (ADP) on private sector employment, and at 14:30 (GMT+2), statistics on the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, which is an important indicator of inflation for the US Federal Reserve. Employment in April is expected to decline from 155.0 thousand to 130.0 thousand, and the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index is expected to decline from 0.4% to 0.1%.

The Bank of Japan will meet on Thursday and publish a quarterly report on the outlook for the national economy, which has previously shown mixed signals. Thus, the April Reuters Tankan poll indicated a recovery in sentiment in the manufacturing sector, while consumers are cautious amid the lack of progress in trade talks between the US and Japan, and the ongoing uncertainty in bilateral relations does not allow assessing long-term prospects, which will also affect the further steps of the Japanese regulator, whose officials are likely to prefer to take a wait-and-see position, but may hint at continued tightening of monetary parameters in the second half of the year. Inflation in Japan has remained above the 2.0% target for nearly three years, and recent data suggest that the trend will continue. The Core Consumer Price Index accelerated in March amid a steady rise in food prices, while the CPI excluding Fresh Food and Energy rose to 2.9%, the highest in a year, highlighting the volatile underlying price dynamics. In addition, the Bank of Japan would like to wait for some strengthening of the American currency so as not to aggravate the negative effect of the yen's growth.

On Friday, at 14:30 (GMT+2), the US will release data on the labor market: forecasts suggest a slowdown in Nonfarm Payrolls growth in April from 228.0 thousand to 130.0 thousand, and an increase in Average Hourly Earnings of 0.3% month-on-month and 3.8% year-on-year, while the Unemployment Rate may remain steady at 4.2%. In turn, Japanese statistics may reflect the Unemployment Rate remaining at 2.4% in March, as well as an increase in the Jobs / Applicants Ratio from 1.24 to 1.25.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands on the daily chart show a steady decline. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD grows, preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic, having approached its highs, is reversing downwards, signaling in favor of the development of corrective decline in the near future.

Resistance levels: 144.00, 145.00, 146.00, 147.00.
Support levels: 143.00, 142.00, 141.00, 140.00.

Trading tips

Long positions can be opened after a breakout of 144.00 with the target of 146.00. Stop-loss — 143.00. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

A rebound from 144.00 as from resistance, followed by a breakdown of 143.00 may become a signal for opening of new short positions with the target at 141.00. Stop-loss — 144.00.

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The GBP/USD pair is trading around 1.3405, correcting after a sharp rise yesterday, which led to a renewal of the February 2022 highs, and this dynamics will probably continue until the Bank of England meeting.

The British regulator remains one of the few that keeps the interest rate above 4.00%, and almost all experts are confident that at the meeting on May 8 at 14:00 (GMT+2), officials will adjust it by at least 25 basis points to 4.25%. This evening, the official representative of the department, Dave Ramsden, will speak about further monetary policy. According to the British Retail Consortium (BRC), the retail price index slowed by –0.1% in March compared to –0.4% a year earlier, while according to statistics from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), in April, retail sales increased from –41.0 points to –8.0 points, exceeding the forecast of –21.0 points and reaching the October high. However, the index of expected sales for May fell to –33.0 points, the lowest in more than a year. Experts expect a further deterioration in business conditions amid trade uncertainty and increased taxation planned in the new government budget.

The American dollar is again under pressure, trading at 99.0 points in the USDX, retreating from yesterday’s highs: investors are still waiting for information on a possible normalization of relations between the US and China. However, according to the latest statements from both parties, this will not happen soon. At least, the statements of the American party about the ongoing negotiations between the leaders of the countries, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, were denied by official Beijing, which added to the negative sentiment on the market. Today at 16:00 (GMT+2), the April consumer confidence index from the Conference Board is due: according to preliminary estimates, the indicator will fall from 92.9 points to 87.7 points, and the number of open vacancies in March JOLTS – from 7.568M to 7.490M.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, the trading instrument is held below the resistance line of the ascending channel with dynamic boundaries of 1.3550–1.2900.

Technical indicators strengthen the buy signal: fast EMAs on the Alligator indicator are significantly above the signal line, moving away from it, and the AO histogram forms correction bars in the positive zone.

Resistance levels: 1.3470, 1.3690.
Support levels: 1.3320, 1.3000.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened after the price rises and consolidates above 1.3470, with the target at 1.3690. Stop loss — 1.3400. Implementation period: 7 days or more.

Short positions may be opened after the price falls and consolidates below 1.3320, with the target at 1.3000. Stop loss — 1.3400.

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

Shares of Netflix Inc., an American entertainment company and streaming service for movies and TV series, are trading in a corrective trend at 1110.00.

On the daily chart, the price is trying to move away from the resistance line of the descending channel with boundaries of 950.00–780.00.

On the four-hour time frame, the potential for upward movement is quite high, which is confirmed, in particular, by the consolidation of quotes above the previous high of 1060.00. However, consolidation of the instrument below the resistance line in the area of 950.00 may become a signal for the "bears" to open new sell trades, although their positions still remain weak. Thus, the most likely scenario at the moment seems to be an increase in dynamics in the area of historical high, for example, to 1230.00.

Technical indicators maintain the buy signal: fast EMAs on the Alligator indicator are above the signal line, widening the fluctuation range, and the AO histogram is forming new upward bars, consolidating in the buy zone.

Trading tips

Long positions should be opened after the price consolidates above the resistance level of 1135.00 with the target of 1230.00. Stop-loss — 1080.00. Implementation time: 7 days and more.

Short positions can be opened after the price consolidates below the support level of 1080.00 with the target of 995.00. Stop-loss — 1120.00.

EUR/USD: EU considers additional tariffs on US goods worth around 100.0 billion euros 07.05.2025

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on EUR/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

During the Asian session, the EUR/USD pair is trading in a corrective trend in the area of 1.1365. The European currency is trying to return to the upward trend, being in a neutral range against the backdrop of macroeconomic statistics that were published the day before.

Thus, the Services PMI in Spain fell from 54.7 points to 53.4 points in April, and in Italy it rose from 52.0 points to 52.9 points, while the indicators in the services sector in France and Germany fell from 47.9 points to 47.3 points and from 50.9 points to 49.0 points, respectively. The overall eurozone composite also adjusted from 51.0 points to 50.1 points, although remaining in the green zone, while the composite value calculated by S&P Global settled at around 50.4 points after 50.9 points in March, preventing the region's single currency from continuing its confident upward trend.

According to Bloomberg, the European Commission plans to introduce additional duties worth about 100.0 billion euros on American goods if the current trade negotiations with official Washington are not successful: before approving the final list, EU member states will hold consultations for a month. Earlier, in response to the 25.0% tariff on steel and aluminum by the United States, European authorities initiated retaliatory sanctions in the amount of 21.0 billion euros.

In turn, the dynamics of the US dollar are still very unstable: today the USDX dollar index is at 99.3 points, again forming a downward range. Investors are closely monitoring the US-China trade standoff, expecting positive statements on the matter. Tensions have eased somewhat with recent reports that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and chief trade negotiator Jamieson Greer will meet with economic officials from China and Switzerland this Saturday. The key event of the day remains the US Federal Reserve meeting, the results of which will be announced today at 20:00 (GMT+2).

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, the EUR/USD pair continues its correction, again trying to move away from the support line of the ascending channel with boundaries of 1.1700–1.1200.

Technical indicators have been holding the buy signal for a long time: fast EMAs on the Alligator indicator are approaching the signal line, slightly narrowing the range of fluctuations, and the AO histogram is forming new correction bars, staying in the buy zone.

Support levels: 1.1270, 1.1040.
Resistance levels: 1.1410, 1.1670.

Trading tips

If the asset continues growing and the price consolidates above the resistance level at 1.1410, long positions will be relevant with target at 1.1670. Stop-loss — 1.1320. Implementation time: 7 days and more.

If the decline continues and the price consolidates below the support level of 1.1270, it is relevant to open sell positions with a target of 1.1040. Stop-loss — 1.1330.
