NZDUSD 30min

Notes: Kiwi has been trading within the confines of these parallels since the start of the month with the decline now testing interim support at the September highs at 6455. Interim resistance stands at 6488 with the immediate focus remains weighted to the short-side while below 6514/19. A break lower targets 6424 & the 76.4% retracement at 6391. Note that the second measured parallel converges on this level into the close of the week.

A breach above median-line resistance shifts the focus back to the topside targeting 6566 and last week’s high at 6587- (broader bearish invalidation). A quarter of the daily average true range (ATR) yields profit targets of 20-22 pips per scalp. Added caution is warranted heading into the release of US Retail Sales & the FOMC minutes tomorrow with the events likely to fuel volatility in USD crosses.
