Talking Points:
- NZD/USD Technical Strategy:Flat
- Support: 0.7680, 0.7548, 0.7401
- Resistance:0.7816, 0.7974, 0.8034
The New Zealand Dollar remains locked in a now-familiar range above the 0.76 figure against the US Dollar. Near-term support is at 0.7680, the December 18 low, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the intersection of channel floor support and the 23.6% level in the 0.7548-80 area. Alternatively, a break above channel top resistance at 0.7816 clears the way for a challenge of the November 17 high at 0.7974.
Risk/reward considerations argue against entering long with prices in close proximity to resistance. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests taking up the short side is premature. We will remain flat for now, waiting for a more actionable opportunity to present itself.
