NZD/USD Signal Update
Yesterday’s signals might have produced a short trade entry following the rejection of the price zone between 0.7162 and 0.7175 although it is subjective whether the candlestick formation was “extremely strong bearish price action”. Anyway, the trade should gave given the minimum of 20 pips of profit, although I do not think it is a good idea to keep it open any more.

NZD/USD Analysis
The NZD, like its sister currency AUD, looks extremely strong at the moment, moving in the direction of its long-term bullish trend but unable yet to break up past a very key long-term resistance zone from 0.7162 to 0.7177 where there was some kind of bearish reversal yesterday.
A Remain vote in the British Referendum tomorrow should see this level break and bullish moves continue, but we will probably have consolidation now until those results become clearer.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be testifying before Congress at 3pm London time, followed later by the release of Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm.
