AUD/NZD Price Analysis: Teasing inverse head-and-shoulders breakout
|
- AUD/NZD has carved out an inverse head-and-shoulders (H&S) pattern on the weekly chart.
- A breakout looks likely as the pair is trading well above the H&S neckline hurdle.
AUD/NZD is currently trading at 1.0921, the highest level since October 2018.
A close above 1.0887 on Friday would confirm an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout on the weekly chart. That would imply a reversal higher from the nine-year-long bear market, which began at highs near 1.3795 seen in 2011.
A breakout, if confirmed, would expose the major hurdle lined up at 1.1175 (Aug 2018 high).
Bigger gains, however, may not happen immediately as the 14-day relative strength index is reporting extreme overbought conditions. As such, the pair may consolidate or revisit the neckline support (former resistance) at 1.0877 before capitalizing on the bullish breakout.
