- NZD/USD's market structure is bullish for the day ahead.
- Bulls need to commit above the key the 0.6260 level.
As per the series of prior analyses, NZD/USD Price Analysis: The bird swoops in towards 0.6250s & demand area, and NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bulls lurking near 0.6250, rallies to 0.6340 eyed, the bulls are now back in control again following a critical structure break to the upside.

On the downside, the bulls need to stay in control above the market structures and swing lows around 0.6270 and 0.6260.
