NZDUSD: Today’s pivotal point likely to be 0.6386
Yesterday’s signals may have produced a long trade a few hours ago from the support level at 0.6386. This trade is in profit but is moving slowly and looks quite doubtful so it might be wise to take partial profit to remove any risk.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
NZD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that we seemed to be seeing the beginning of a bearish topping-out in this currency pair, but I also noted that it seemed less bearish than the very similar price action which was happening in the AUD/USD currency pair. This was a useful observation as the price here is holding up better than it is in the AUD/USD currency pair: here the support holds so far, while in AUD/USD, we have significant new lower resistance at 0.6850.
This means that I am reluctant to be bearish in this currency pair today, so I would be prepared to take a bullish bias if we get a retracement to 0.6386 and a bullish bounce there, as happened a few hours ago.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the NZD or the USD
