NZD/USD closed above 0.8388/73

Our previous estimations proved to be correct, as the currency pair has risen above the former resistance at 0.8388/73. NZD/USD is unlikely to stop here, but is assumed to remain capable of moving even closer to the key resistance zone at 0.8499/49. Therefore if the surge is to emerge, it will probably be shallow. In the interim dips are to be held by supports at 0.8388/73 and 0.8356/55.
