- The pair could correct higher, but upsides are likely to be capped by 0.6850.
NZD/USD Technical Analysis
The New Zealand Dollar was rejected near the 0.7400 level in April 2018 against the US Dollar. The NZD/USD pair made many attempts to move past 0.7400, but it failed.
As a result, there was a sharp downside move and the pair tumbled below the 0.7200, 0.7000 and 0.6900 support levels. The pair traded below the 0.6800 support and even settled below the 50-week simple moving average.
However, the pair found a strong support near the 0.6700 level and a connecting support trend line on the weekly chart. At the moment, the pair is consolidating above the 0.6700 level and it could correct higher.
An initial resistance awaits near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the 0.7395 high to 0.6687 low near 0.6850. Above this resistance, the pair may perhaps recover nicely above the 0.6900 level.
The next significant resistance above 0.6850 is at 0.7000/40, which coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the 0.7395 high to 0.6687 low.
On the flip side, if NZD/USD fails to stay above 0.6700 and the trend line support, there could be heavy losses towards the next support at 0.6500 in the medium term.
