  • NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
  • Wave of selling pressure yields break below 0.8650
  • Absence of bullish candlesticks casts doubt on a recovery

NZD/USD’s break below 0.8650 alongside a void of bullish reversal signals suggests the pair’s woes may be set to continue. The breach of the noteworthy support level is made more significant by a spike in trading volume, suggesting a sufficient wave of selling pressure that could carry the Kiwi lower. However, given the magnitude of declines for the pair, a corrective bounce should not be precluded. This would afford new entries into short positions.
