Support is alternatively found near today’s low of .6992.

However in the event of a breakout, traders may consider concluding any range based positioning and place new entries with the developing trend. Traders may use a 1x extension of the 97 pip range to find preliminary bullish breakout targets near .7186. Alternatively, bearish breakout targets may be considered near .6897.

Current sentiment totals for the NZD/USD read relatively flat, with SSI currently at +1.22. This reading shows that 55% of traders are net-long the NZD/USD, with 45% positioned short. If range bound market conditions continue, it would be reasonably expected to see SSI figures remain flat for the pair. In the event of a bullish breakout however, it would be expected to see SSI flip to a negative value. Alternatively in the event of a bearish breakout, traders should look for sentiment figures to reach positive extremes of +2.0 or more.
