NZD/USD breakout potential mitigated ahead of RBNZ
FXstreet.com (Lisbon) - The NZD/USD foreign exchange rate has been unable to breakout ahead of the RBNZ later tonight, instead clinging to a rangebound consolidation that has resulted in negative trading.
Later today at 21:00 GMT, the RBNZ is slated to release its interest rate decision (2.5% consensus), followed by the monetary policy statement.
NZD/USD strategic bias
According to the Technical Analyst Team at ICN.com, “The NZD/USD extended the bullish move, the bias remains strongly bullish, but RSI fails to confirm, as it lags price action, indicating a weakening momentum. Meanwhile, the price is approaching main resistance levels starting at 0.8100. Accordingly, we may see a push towards this resistance area, but we advise caution a downside correction maybe near.”
NZD/USD technical levels
Presently, the NZD/USD has settled at 0.8059 in these moments, still suffering a decline of -0.10% off its opening during US trading. Briefing the technicals, the NZD/USD will encounter means of calculated support at 0.8049, a break of which will open up 0.8022 and 0.7985, notes the Mataf.net analyst team.
