NZD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that despite the medium-term bullish momentum, we were probably due a pullback. In any case, the major central bank input due later for the NZD rendered the price movement unpredictable.
The RBNZ held things steady and after a spike down to the support at 0.6605, the price has taken off and advanced to new highs. Interestingly, the USD has strengthened over recent hours, but is falling here against the New Zealand Dollar, which shows that the NZD has good relative strength.
I would like to take a cautiously bullish bias here, but the big round number at 0.6700 which is confluent with a long-term bearish inflection point may will probably be too much to break right now. If the price can close above 0.6700 for three hours consecutively later, I would take a bullish bias to 0.6747.Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders data at 1:30pm London time. Regarding the NZD, there will be a release of ANZ Business Confidence data at 2am.
