I’m looking for buying opportunities on NZD/USD after the FOMC statement provided no huge surprises yesterday, and although there were minor tweaks in the statement, members reiterated that highly accommodative policy will be appropriate for considerable time after asset purchase program ends.
The FOMC market reaction was relatively muted but the USD slightly weakened as the statement was not as hawkish as some had feared.
I’m looking to buy this pair if it dips down to around the 0.8500 area with a profit target of 0.8600 and a SL at 0.8450.
Overall Bias on this trade
If the price falls down to 0.8400 I will still be looking for opportunities to resume buying of this particular pair.
