NZD/USD Analysis

The price has made another attempt at the resistance level of 0.7306, but so far it has held, and even reversed enough to provide a short trade entry set-up. The USD has been weak everywhere and the NZD is within a long-term bullish trend, but this resistance level is proving hard to crack. A break above the existing highs would be a very bullish sign.


NZDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
