Talking Points
- NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Pending Short
- Bearish Engulfing Formation Casts Risks Lower
- Awaiting Break Below Range-Bottom For New Shorts
NZD/USD may be exposed to further weakness in the wake of a Bearish Engulfing pattern on the daily. The key reversal signal suggests a possible push towards the recent lows near 0.7730. Yet given the proximity of currency prices to the barrier, fresh shorts would be preferred on a downside break.
