NZD/USD Analysis
This pair was looking very bullish already and it became even more bullish yesterday when the RBNZ announced that the relatively high NZD interest rate of 2.25% would remain unchanged. This sent the price up to test the resistance level of 0.7107 which did hold of an hour or two before breaking to the upside. At the time of writing it is being tested from the other side and appears to be holding. If it is not tested again before the New York session it could be used again as good support later.
The pair has just made a new 1 year high and there seems to be no resistance until 0.7200.
In the unlikely event of a return to 0.7000 and the trend line confluence, that would be very attractive for a long trade.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
