NZDJPY – Bearish Momentum Building

43
Pair: NZDJPY
Timeframe: 4H
Bias: Bearish

🔍 Technical Setup:
NZDJPY has broken sharply from its recent consolidation and is now testing a critical 4H support zone near 87.00. A decisive break below this zone would open the path toward lower support levels.

📍 Entry Trigger: Break and close below 86.95
🎯 Target 1: 85.95
🛑 Stop Loss: Above 87.35
📉 RSI: Near oversold, confirming strong bearish pressure

This setup reflects a classic bearish continuation with momentum and structure aligned.

🧠 Fundamental + Macro Confluence:
🔻 New Zealand (NZD):
RBNZ cut rates to 3.25% citing weak inflation, growth slowdown, and spare capacity.
Employment data remains fragile; upcoming releases add downside risk.
NZD is under pressure due to falling export demand amid global trade tensions.
CFTC positioning shows longs reducing, net positioning weakening — sentiment turning bearish.

🔺 Japan (JPY):
Bank of Japan is gradually tightening — while still accommodative, the bias is shifting hawkish.
JPY benefits as risk-off sentiment grows — fueled by weak equity markets and rising VIX (20.42).
CFTC shows a massive drop in NNCs, aligning with institutional flows favoring JPY strength.

🌐 Risk Sentiment:
VIX > 20 confirms risk-off sentiment, bolstering safe-haven demand for JPY.
NZD, being a high-beta risk currency, weakens as global risk appetite fades.
Seasonal bias also aligns with weakness in NZD and strength in JPY.

📌 Final Take:
Macro, sentiment, and technicals all align for further downside in NZDJPY. Watch for a clean H4 close below 86.95 to confirm entry. This pair offers strong confluence — from central bank divergence to institutional flows and global volatility.
