- NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 0.7787, 0.7624, 0.7533
- Resistance:0.7930, 0.8076, 0.8221
The New Zealand Dollar launched sharply higher against its US namesake following the RBNZ monetary policy announcement. A daily close above the 0.7897-0.7930area marked by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and a falling channel top exposes the 38.2% level at 0.8076. Alternatively, a reversal below the 14.6% Fib at 0.7787 opens the door for a test of the channel floor at 0.7624.
We will tactically opt against entering long. The markets appear enveloped by seasonal profit-taking on risk-geared positions, as expected. That may bode ill for the sentiment-sensitive Kiwi, meaning the up move might swiftly fizzle. As such, we will remain flat and look for the bounce to yield a selling opportunity in line with the larger trend.
