NZD/USD Technical Analysis: Looks north after falling wedge breakout

Omkar Godbole FXStreet Contributor

The NZD/USD pair could revisit recent highs near 0.6850, having witnessed a falling wedge breakout on the key technical chart.

4-hour chart

The falling wedge breakout – a bullish reversal pattern – indicates that the pullback from the recent high of 0.6849 has ended and the bulls have likely regained control. As a result, 0.6849 could come into play again.
Validating that bullish argument is the 14-day relative strength index' (RSI) move into positive territory above 50.00.
The bullish pressure would weaken if the spot falls back into the wedge.
