NZD/USD reverses Friday’s downside while picking up the bids to refresh intraday top near 0.7035 during early Monday.

In doing so, the Kiwi pair keeps the last week’s rebound from the 50% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of late August to early September upside, around 0.6985, amid an upward sloping Momentum line supporting the recovery moves.

That said, the NZD/USD prices aim for a one-week-old horizontal hurdle surrounding 0.7060 during the further advances.

However, 100-SMA and 23.6% Fibo. confluence near 0.7085 will be a tough nut to crack for the pair buyers afterward. Also acting as an upside filter is a three-week-old resistance line near 0.7125.

On the contrary, the pair’s pullback moves may gain little attention unless staying beyond the stated 50% Fibonacci retracement level near 0.6985, as well as the monthly low of 0.6981.

Should NZD/USD sellers retake controls past 0.6981, the late August levels surrounding 0.6930 may return to the chart.

Overall, NZD/USD is in a recovery mode but the bulls have a bumpy road ahead.

$40 trillion debt black hole: Is a financial crisis coming?

The United States is closing in on a milestone that would have been almost unimaginable not long ago: $40 trillion in national debt. That staggering figure framed the latest episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, as host Mike Maharrey examined what he calls the economy’s “debt black hole” and zeroed in on a relatively obscure corner of the financial system that could become a much bigger problem: the $1.4 trillion private credit market.
