NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bears attempt to take control at a key support structure at 0.6340

  • NZD/USD is under pressure and bears expect a downside continuation from key resistance structure. 
  • A 15-minute price imbalance has shown up between 0.6365 and 0.6373 which could be mitigated and serve as resistance thereafter. 
  • Bears are not in the clear until a change of structure in the 4-hour time frame. This will require a break of 0.6340. 

As per the prior analysis, NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bulls move in from critical support, bears eye an opportunity, and NZD/USD bulls move in at the start of the week but bears are lurking, where it was stated that the bulls have moved in and this was giving the bears an opportunity for a discount, the bears have indeed capitalized on the sweep of liquidity to 0.6400.

The price has swept the liquidity near 0.64 in the form of stops and this has resulted in a move lower and a change of charter (CoCh MTF (multi time frame)) in structure, from bullish to bearish, on the lower time frames around 0.6370.
