Talking Points
- NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Shooting Star offers bearish reversal signal but awaits confirmation
- Looking to 0.8500 as key support
The NZD/USD has erased most of yesterday’s gain following a failure to break above the October 2013 highs near 0.8545. This has resulted in a Shooting Star formation for the pair that may be hinting at a bearish reversal. However, caution is suggested here, given the Kiwi has shrugged off 2 prior reversal signals offered by Shooting Stars near key resistance levels. A daily close back below the 0.8500 handle may help validate the signal and could open up a larger correction to the former-range top at 0.8400.
