Talking Points:

  • NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 0.7515, 0.7406, 0.7296
  • Resistance:0.7595, 0.7658, 0.7721

The New Zealand Dollar is wedged in an increasingly narrow range below a trend line capping gains against its US namesake since late October. A daily close above 0.7595 (38.2% Fibonacci expansion, trend line) exposes the 50% level at 0.7658. Alternatively, a turn below trend line support at 0.7515 clears the way for a challenge of a horizontal pivot at 0.7406.
Positioning is inconclusive at this point, with prices offering no clear-cut and actionable signal to initiate a long or short trade. We will continue to remain on the sidelines for the time being, waiting for a compelling opportunity to present itself.
