NZD/USD Analysis

This pair has followed its sister pair downwards, after the resistance at the round number of 0.6900 was too strong for the price to break. The support at 0.6825 might be quite strong, so it should hold before the FOMC release due later.

There is big news due for both sides of this pair so there could be some wild swings accompanied by a lot of volatility.

NZDUSD

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm London time, followed later by the FOMC Statement and Federal Funds Rate at 7pm. Concerning the NZD, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will be releasing its Official Cash Rate and Rate Statement at 10pm.
