Technical Analysis | NZDUSD Unable to Break Ichimoku

Daily Chart: The NZD/USD pair was unable to break above the daily Ichimoku cloud and is moving back towards our original support at 50% Fibonacci level at 0.6850. Not only that, it also formed a massive bearish engulfing by the end of Wednesday trading.

The prevailing cloud is acting as a tough resistance for the pair together with the 23% Fibonacci retracement level. The Chiko span is also below the cloud and 38% Fibo is our new support.

NZDUSD Unable to Break Ichimoku Cloud – Daily Chart Technical Analysis

Monthly Chart: The pair remains below the thick monthly Ichimoku cloud as well, with the prevailing cloud turning down. As mentioned in our previous update, if this sentiment continues, the one-year-long uptrend could turn out to be a mere correction in the course of the ultra long-term saucer-top cycle which started back in 2009.

NZDUSD Unable to Break Ichimoku Cloud – Monthly Chart Technical Analysis

Fundamentals | Fed Surprise

The Federal Reserve raised rates for the second time in 10 years on Wednesday, boosting their short-term interest rate target by a quarter point to 0.50 to 0.75 percent. It then surprised the markets by forecasting three rate hikes next year, and that it could need to do more. On the news we saw major USD strength across the board. NZD/USD was obviously not an exception.

On the other hand, in a news conference following the rate decision, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said Donald Trump’s election had put the central bank under a “cloud of uncertainty” (not to be confused with Ichimoku cloud) and already prompted some policymakers to shift their view of what’s to come.

Now the question is if our gal pal Janet Yellen will get on Trump’s team and start seeing eye-to-eye with him.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

January 2, 2026 No Comments

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

December 26, 2025 No Comments

American Express is often viewed as a mature, well understood credit card company, but its role in the financial system is broader than many investors realize.

It sits at the center of consumer spending, business payments, travel, credit risk, and data driven decision making. As these areas evolve, the dynamics shaping American Express stock are becoming more complex and, in some cases, less obvious.

Why Big Tech Is Quietly Buying Western Digital (WDC) Stock

December 12, 2025 No Comments

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
