Flat momentum indicators suggest NZD could continue to trade sideways, likely between 0.6340 and 0.6405.”
Next 1-3 weeks: “On Monday (09 Jan, spot at 0.6350), we highlighted that while the risk for NZD has shifted to the upside, it must clear the major resistance at 0.6410 before further gains are likely. The upside risk will remain in place as long as NZD stays above 0.6320 (‘strong support’ level was at 0.6300 yesterday). Looking ahead, the next resistance level above 0.6410 is at 0.6445, followed by 0.6515.”
