Talking Points:

  • NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 0.7745, 0.7688, 0.7642
  • Resistance:0.7838, 0.7987, 0.8033

The New Zealand Dollar may be carving out a bottom against its US namesake after prices produced a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 0.7838, the 100% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 76.4% level at 0.7930. Alternatively, a turn below the 123.6% Fibat 0.7745 opens the door for a test of the 0.7688-97 area marked by the July 2013 bottom and the 138.2% expansion.

On balance, the dominant trend has favored the downside since early July. With that in mind, we will to wait for any on-coming gains and treat them as a selling opportunity rather than a trade-able bullish opportunity.
