Talking Points:
- NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 0.8283, 0.8206, 0.8144
- Resistance:0.8330, 0.8401, 0.8500
The New Zealand Dollar is pausing to consolidate after another push lower against its US namesake brought the currency to a six-month low. Near-term resistance is at 0.8283, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 0.8206. Alternatively, a turn above the 14.6% Fib at 0.8330 opens the door for a test of support-turned-resistance at 0.8401, the June 4 low.
Prices are wedged too closely between immediate support and resistance levels to justify a trade on the long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. We will continue to stand aside for now, waiting for a more attractive opportunity to present itself.
