NZD/USD Analysis

I was right yesterday to see 0.9840 as a resistance level, even if minor, as the price never really managed to get above it. Later in the day there was a very poor GDT Price Index release that absolutely hammered the NZD, leading to this sharp fall and an easy slice through the first support level, before eventually even breaking down below the second support level.

Now the pair is recovering with a slight upwards movement, but the market’s sentiment on NZD will have changed now to bearish, so the best opportunities will probably come now from short trades. The former support at 0.6783 is likely to have flipped to resistance, but even before that there is a zone beginning at the psychologically key level of 0.6750 which is likely to be pivotal.

NZDUSD

 There are no high-impact releases due today concerning the NZD or the USD.
