**📈 Trade Idea: Long NZD/JPY (Short-Term Only)**

**Timeframe:** 🕒 Short-Term (cautious entry)
**Key Zone:** Needs to stay above 94.50 — upside may fade around 96.00

### **💡 Why Consider NZD/JPY Long?**
**🇳🇿 New Zealand Dollar (NZD):**
* **Risk sentiment weak, China demand fading**
→ *🌧️ Not a strong backdrop — Kiwi is under pressure globally.*
* **RBNZ cut rates to 3.25%**
→ *🔻 Dovish tone continues. Market expecting more easing.*
* **GDP due June 23 — big wildcard**
→ *📅 Until then, NZD is stuck in limbo. Surprise = upside, disappointment = selloff.*
* **Dairy prices, China links still weighing**
→ *🐄🇨🇳 Old story, still relevant. No new tailwinds for the Kiwi.*
* **Overall sentiment: Bearish**
→ *📉 Most traders are expecting softer NZD data ahead.*
---
**🇯🇵 Japanese Yen (JPY):**
* **Supported by risk-off flows**
→ *🛡️ Investors run to JPY in fear — gives it short-term strength.*
* **BoJ still ultra-dovish**
→ *🎈 Monetary policy is soft. No tightening expected till late 2025.*
* **CPI is above target, but BoJ not reacting**
→ *📊 Data says tighten, but BoJ says no. That caps JPY strength.*
* **Risk-sensitive, but also used for funding**
→ *💸 Weak long-term, but can pop on fear-driven trades.*

### **🔍 Outlook:**
There’s a short-term case for upside **if** risk calms and NZ GDP surprises. But the bigger picture isn’t great — both currencies are weak for different reasons, and this pair is stuck between them.

**📌 Note:**
> *“Not a trade I’d take myself — feels like trying to pick a winner in a race where both runners are limping. If anything, this is a 'maybe-for-a-day' type of setup, not something I’d hold.”*
