Open/pending positions of last week
CHF/JPY
This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Week 20 where the pair was tipped for going long. Last week the pair continued the uptrend with a lot of momentum. The pair found the uptrend again in week 18 after a strong pullback in March and April. The pair found support around the 23,6% Fibo level measured from the low of Jan 14 at 114,079 and the high of the day after at 138,870. The pair offered a good opportunity in week 19 week and (pending) orders have been opened for this pair. The CHF is a strong currency from a longer term perspective and has this week a currency score of 7. The JPY is a weak currency and has a currency score of 2 this week. With a Currency score difference of 5 and the CHF better classified it is an interesting pair.
- On the weekly (decision) chart the indicators are looking strong for going long.
- In the weekly chart the Ichimoku is meeting all the conditions.
- The MACD is in positive area and the histogram is showing increase of momentum.

Possible position for coming week
NZD/USD
This pair will be analyzed in detail. The NZD found the downtrend at the end of April and reached the lowest score of 1 last week. The USD found the uptrend again a few weeks ago. The pair is clearly in a downtrend and it is gaining momentum. It broke convincing through a previous significant bottom of March 11 at 0,7177 It is a pair to monitor in the coming week.
- As can be seen in the Currency Score chart in my previous article of this weekend the USD 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.
Ranking and rating list Week 24
Rank: 1
Rating: - - -
Weekly Currency score: Down
Based on the currency score the pair looked interesting since the beginning of May. Normally 3 months is the default period to check but in this case the NZD changed from a strong currency to an average currency in week 23 so an exception is made. The USD is a strong currency from a longer term perspective and after the pullback in May it found the uptrend again. The NZD is an average currency from a longer term perspective and is getting a lot weaker in the last weeks, 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.
