In
this article I will provide my view on the EUR/NZD,
AUD/CHF and the EUR/GBP. These are
the
pairs that I am currently interested in or was interested in last week
for trading with the FxTaTrader
weekly
strategy. I will pick one to analyse in more
detail from the pairs that have not been discussed yet recently.
This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Wk13 where the pair was tipped for going short. The NZD is a stronger currency from a longer term perspective but is having only a currency score of 5 at the moment. The EUR remains weak with a score of 1. With a Currency score difference of 4 and the NZD better classified it is an interesting pair.
Last week positions were opened for this pair but unfortunately there was news regarding the interest rate for the NZD which had a negative effect on the currency. Although the stop loss is not tight at all and placed on a crucial level, when news like this comes around after just entering a position it is an unlucky situation. The entered position did not get the chance to go in profit and was not able to absorb this type of news.
Postions were closed because the stop loss got hit and the pair does not look interesting anymore for the coming week.

Weekly Currency score: Down
Based on the currency score the pair looked interesting in the last 3 months. The GBP is a strong currency from a longer term perspective and although the score was very low in the previous weeks it seems, based on the different TA charts, as if the currency will remain in the coming period at the right level. The EUR is a weak currency from a longer term perspective and had in the last weeks a score of 1 and 2. With currently a Score difference of 7 and the GBP being better classified it is an interesting pair for taking positions in the coming week.
