ZARJPY at risk of falling a lot.

9 Eyl 2017

ZARJPY is in a long term downtrend and could resume it very soon. More details below.

A closer look: the whole of 2016 and most of 2017 were spent building a rising wedge as a corrective pattern. The wedge was broken at the beginning of the month of August and confirmed by a backtest last week.

My plan is to sell the pair with a stop above the previous high. Should things turn really south we could see a drop below 6 as a final target over the next couple of years (very pessimistic scenario)
