It should be noted, in the event of a trend reversal, and prices drop back below the daily 200 period SMA, traders may elect to delete any pending buy orders.

If prices do breakout to a new high, traders may use ATR to evaluate potential targets. Today’s daily ATR value for the NZD/USD reads at 94 pips.
