Talking Points

  • NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Pending Short
  • Piercing Line Pattern Fails To Find Follow-Through
  • Daily Close Below 0.8060 To Open Aug ’13 Lows

NZD/USDhas been reluctant to revisit its recent lows near 0.8060. Yet after a Piercing Line pattern failed to find confirmation a recovery for the Kiwi may also prove difficult. A daily close below the 0.8060 hurdle could open some significant room before buying interest is renewed at the August 2013 low near 0.7750. Whereas a climb above the 0.8260 hurdle would likely be required to mark a small base for the pair.

The four hour timeframe has demonstrated choppy price action, which has left little in the way of clear candlestick signals. This leaves a more constructive setup desired before offering a technical bias for the pair.
