Talking Points

  • NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
  • Daily Remains Devoid Of Bullish Reversal Signals
  • Breach of 0.7730 Would Open ’12 Low Near 0.7450

NZD/USD has taken another beating at the outset of the week with a void of reversal candlesticks - reducing the chances of a recovery for the pair. A revisit of the August 2013 low appears to be renewing some buying interest. A daily close below the nearby floor would set the scene for a descent on the 2012 low near 0.7450.

The four hour timeframe is similarly devoid of bullish candlestick patterns after an ensemble of Doji formations highlighted hesitation from traders. This casts some doubt over the potential for a corrective bounce over the session ahead.
