NZD/USD Analysis
Last Thursday I was firmly bearish on this pair. While I probably was right over the longer term, I have been definitely wrong over the short term, as the price has risen and printed new, higher support at 0.6937. However, the picture shown in the price chart below still looks bearish, with two very dominant bearish trend lines suppressing the price. The area just below 0.7000 looks v3ry attractive for a potential short trade set-up due to the confluence of the trend lines, resistance, and the major round number at 0.7000. I think the price is likely to fall further over the coming days, as the New Zealand Dollar is generally relatively very weak.
There is nothing due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
