By Kenny Fisher on Dec 2, GMT Oil prices have climbed sharply on Thursday, continuing the strong gains which marked the Wednesday session. A bullish head and shoulder is not completed until price breaks above the neck line. Being heavily sold against most of its major counterparts.

However, the longer term charts and underlying macro situation mean the picture is not as clear-cut as it seems. New Zealand has been somewhat of a darling recently. A purring economy, an excellent rugby team and some of the highest interest rates in the developed forex keeping chat New Zealand Dollar in demand.

The later is the most important in our zero percent interest rate world, and this has benefited both Aud and NZD. Neither the RBA nor the RBNZ have been particularly happy about this and were no doubt hoping that the Federal Reserve would help them out as did just about every other central bankby finally delivering a rate hike.

To digress a moment, in New Zealand, we have a saying. The FOMC sadly did not hike, chat to be the equivalent of a monetary possum in the headlights. The effect was immediate with the USD sold against basically everything. No doubt provoking much hand-wringing at Chat Head Quarters. The NZD duly staged impressive rallies, not just against the USD, but a slew of other currencies we shall deal with below.

The RBNZ has attempted to limit the damage on their Trade Weighted Forex forecasts by being very dovish in chat MPC announcements yesterday.

Although they did not cut rates they did say more cuts will be needed and the NZD was too high. As the dust settled in New York last night and Asia today, the USD has gradually eked back its losses helped by better than expected US Initial Jobless Claims.

The last of momentum after events that have plagued FX Traders all year returning as the week closes. This confluence of events has seen the Kiwi trace out some rather bearish formations against some currencies. Including some outside forex. This may, however, not tell the whole story.

As readers know my assertion is that the Kiwi will be unable to maintain significant sell-offs as long, as it has some of the highest developed world yields. A slew of forex term support lies below. The NZDJPY made an outside reversal day here on the FOMC. Resistance is at previous daily lows and the post Chat breakdown. Above there at Meaningful support does not appear until a double bottom. Here is a central bank with bigger issues on its plate than the RBNZ. The weekly forex tells a different story.

Substantial resistance from the triangle apex sits around Support in the is forming the base. With a due not of deference to my Australian Brothers, I have always asserted that it has never made sense for a New Zealand Dollar to be worth the same as an Australian Dollar. AUD and NZD are both almost identical G10 high yielders, neighbours, and either dig things out off, or grow things on the ground, and sell them to chat rest of the chat. The things Australia dig out of the ground are usually more valuable than the things New Zealand grows on it.

It is as simple as that. The DMA at is next resistance with the previous daily low at support. In the big picture, AUDNZD has traded around for the last few years. Again appearances are deceptive. The forex chart below shows the cross having broken a rough trendline going back to early June. On FOMC day Kiwi traced out a 19-year high against the CAD followed by two stunning reversal days.

This pattern has continued today with NZDCAD near its lows at Resistance is at the trendline at and then Minor support at The weekly chart shows the NZDCAD barely holding long term support. The inverse head and shoulders formation I have spoken about previously remains intact, just.

The caveat here is the huge outside reversal week we have had. NZDCAD opening within the range to the previous week, making new highs and then closing below the low of the past week. Otherwise known as a bearish engulfing formation. I acknowledge the importance of this from a technical perspective and also that a weekly close under would most likely negate the long term bullish structure.

From a macro perspective, we also need to consider USDCAD and the price of oil. From a shorter-term technical view, it looks universally looks weak.

However, the longer term charts reveal the picture is not so clear-cut. The NZD is being driven by extraneous factors outside of its control but remains the highest yielding G10 currency.
