USDZAR- Dollar weakness creeping inThis is the second time the pair finds resistance at around 19.30. Momentum has started to shift and this time it is dollar weakness rather than Rand strength. Coming out of over-bought territory now with some proper selling pressure overnight, I expect a ZAR rally back to test at least 18.50 from here. This looks like a nice little USD short opportunity for around 60c over the weekend
USDZAR trade ideas
USDZAR-SELL strategy 4 HourlyThe pair has formed a likely "false bull flag" pattern, and usually this means a move lower after a solid break of the base of the flag. The support is 19.1600 area, and the top is 19.3650 estimated.
The potential is a move back towards 18.7500 cloud support.
Strategy SELL @ 19.2250-19.3150 and place stop-loss above the flag resistance currently 19.3750 suggested level. Profit @ 18.7850.

USDZAR 4H ForecastWe're in a bullish sequence on USDZAR, we're in a wave 3 phase which will unfold as an impulse wave. USDZAR will most likely trade bullish based on inverse correlation where XXXUSD trades on the bearish side. We can expect a minor pullback which may result in a significant buy very soon.
USDZAR-SELL Strategy 4 Hourly chartThe pair has moved according to expectation, and now it feels we may stall little bit. I will still be a little careful since GOLD has weakened and may weaken further more.
Strategy is SELL @ 19.2250-19.30 and place stop-loss above 19.3975 (financial stop) for now. Profit order near 18.8350.
$USDZAR - Possible Inverse Head & ShouldersIt seems the Daily chart of FX:USDZAR is very close to reaching the neckline to complete the right shoulder of what could then turn out an Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern. This is not the pattern with the highest reliability in my view, but by the looks of it now I will not discard this possibility right away. It also seems that the MACD has now turned up and is breaking through its trigger line with a first very small green histogram visible. Despite an article I published on 12 June 2023 where I see a target decidedly lower, in other words a stronger Rand (ZAR), but that being from a longer term chart, it seems that if this pattern continues to play out, we might see the ZAR as weak as ±R20-80 to the USD in the foreseeable future.

USDZAR- NEUTRAL BUY daily chartThe pair is holding up well, and perhaps its building in GOLD correction in the future.
The cloud support is above 18.6700 and sgtrong GANN support 18.11 and resistance 19.1100.
The RSI is positive as well.
Strategy BUY @ 18.7200-18.7500 range and take profit near GANN resistance 19.1100. Stop-loss below 18.3700.
USDZAR-SELL strategy Daily chartThe pair has been resilient, and keeping the support above 18.4000 area.
Based on current hammer top, and GOLD level remaining high, the consideration for SELL is far outweighing a buy strategy.
For now, SELL @ 18.8000-18.9500 and place stop-loss above 19.0250 and re-SELL below 19.2700. the profit order @ 18.4350 and thereafter 18.02450.
USDZAR - AnalysisThe USDZAR is in a range between 18.40-18.90 and building energy for the next leg.
Currently there is an inverted head and shoulders pattern developing which could become a possibility if the major 18.90 level breaks, then the neckline tests.
I still have a target of R18.20 & 200dma open for test and favour that direction for now.
