In this article I will provide my view on the EUR/NZD and the AUD/USD. These are the pairs that I am currently interested in or was interested in last week for trading with the FxTaTrader weekly strategy. I will pick one to analyse in more detail from the pairs that have not been discussed yet recently.
Open/pending positions of last week
EUR/NZD
This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Week 13 where the pair was tipped for going short. The NZD is a stronger currency from a longer term perspective with a score of 6. The EUR remains weak with a score of 2. With a Currency score difference of 4 and the NZD better classified it is an interesting pair.
The downtrend is still strong but there is a pullback in the last few days offering an opportunity. One position was opened last week and it missed the profit target by 10 pips last Friday. The pair recovered significant but seems to have found the downtrend again at the end of the trading session last Friday.
- On the weekly(decision) chart the indicators are looking strong for going short.
- In the weekly chart the Ichimoku is meeting all the conditions.
- The MACD is in negative area and gaining momentum.
- The Parabolic SAR is short and showing the preferred pattern of lower stop loss on opening of new long and short positions.

Possible positions for coming week
AUD/USD
This pair will be analyzed in detail. The USD is a stronger currency from a longer term perspective with a score of 7. The AUD remains weak with a score of 3. The pair had during the last weeks a pullback. It seems as if this is ending and the downtrend can resume again soon. The 4 hour chart is starting to look interesting again for going short.
- As can be seen in the Currency Score chart in my previous article of this weekend the USD is having a score of 7 and the AUD a score of 3.
- In the current Ranking and Rating list of this weekend the pair has a rank of 6. 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 it an attractive opportunity.

Weekly Currency score: Down
Based on the currency score the pair looked interesting in the last 3 months. The USD is a stronger currency from a longer term perspective and had in the last weeks a score of 7 and 8. The AUD is a weaker currency from a longer term perspective and had in the last weeks a score between 1 and 4. The currency remains weak and it seems to stay this way in the coming period. With currently a Currency Score difference of 4 and the USD being better classified it is an interesting pair for taking positions in the coming week.

- The Ichimoku is meeting all the conditions.
