NZD/USD Technical Analysis: Failure to cross 0.6850 signals 0.6790 comeback


NZD/USD daily chart

  • The NZD/USD pair refrained to extend prior gains beyond 0.6850 and trades near 0.6820 during early Friday.
  • The pair has been trailing behind 0.6850 since last three days and weaker than expected China CPI portrayed one such pullback early today.
  • As a result, prices may come back to 50-day simple moving average (SMA), at 0.6790 whereas 0.6770 and 100-day SMA level of 0.6725 could confine the pair’s downside afterward.
  • In case the quote closes under 0.6725, an upward sloping trend-line connecting lows marked since October 2018, at 0.6665 might flash on Bears’ radar.
  • Alternatively, an upside clearance of 0.6850 can propel the pair towards last-week’s high near 0.6905 while descending resistance line, at 0.6935 could challenge upside then after.
  • If at all there prevail additional increase beyond 0.6935, 0.6975 and 0.7000 could lure the buyers.

  • Meanwhile, the 0.6870 horizontal-line may offer an intermediate stop to the price rise past-0.6850 towards 0.6905.
