FXStreet (Guatemala) – NZD/USD is currently trading at 0.6984 with a high of 0.6990 and a low of 0.6983.
NZD/USD remains in a sideways channel post the downside that came after the RBNZ surprised markets last week when they cut the OCR. The price action overnight has been confined to a narrow range but closes with a bullish stick.
The US data didn’t make any sustained impact from the US session while in the London trade, dairy auction prices slipped again in the GlobalDairyTrade auction. The GDT price index fell by 1.3 per cent although there were only slight drops printed for whole milk and skim milk powder and little market reaction.
NZD/USD daily stick in the green
Technically, NZD/USD remains in a bearish trend, and on the daily charts there is little let up that can be seen while bears have been in full control until today’s bullish close. The RSI (14) count on the daily is headed towards oversold but the MA’s are offering a bearish bias still.
The market has attempted a bottom here given the market daily stick finishing in the green while the next level to exceed is the top of the daily hammer of June 11. If this is breached we are looking for a potential test of the June 9 highs on the 0.72 handle. 0.6800 is on the bears map though should the downside be extended, challenging June 2010 lows of 0.6793.
