Talking Points:

  • NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat

  • Support: 0.7492, 0.7429, 0.7366

  • Resistance:0.7570, 0.7638, 0.7696

The New Zealand Dollar is edging lower as expected after putting in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 0.7492, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 0.7429.Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib at 0.7570 opens the door for a test of falling trend line resistance at 0.7638.

Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
