Talking Points
- NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
- Recovery Questionable With Reversal Patterns Lacking
- Daily Close Below 0.8260 Opens Descent Towards 0.8060
NZD/USD maintains its downward trajectory as a lack of bullish candlesticks leaves the spotlight on the 0.8060 floor. A break lower of the barrier would potentially open some significant room to the downside before buying interest is renewed at the September 2013 lows (0.7730).
