NZD/USD Analysis
The long-term bullish trend in this pair is now in serious doubt as the price continues to fall. It has broken strongly below the anticipated supportive area centred on 0.7300. Interestingly, the NZD remains clearly weaker than its “sister” currency, the AUD, following the RBNZ “talking down” the currency during its earlier major statement a few hours ago. It looks as if the price is going to continue moving down, with the NZD one of the weakest of all the major global currencies. The key level that really stands out from the long-term charts that looks like a crucial “line in the sand” for the long-term trend is 0.7200.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of PPI and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
