NZD/USD Analysis

This pair is now looking more bearish than its sister AUD/USD with which it usually is highly positively correlated. However the area at 0.6500 as can be seen in the chart below has acted as support now three times. This is likely to mean that if it continues to hold, we are going to see an upwards move, while a breakdown below that level should see a further fall with momentum.

There are resistance points not far above that could be nice levels to be positioned short off if the low does eventually break. On the other hand, if those resistance levels start to break, it suggests the upwards move will have already begun.
