Euro outperforms Kiwi while general bear-trend still present

EUR/NZD movements have been carried by a downtrend serving as significant support for 18 years already. The line is likely to prove its dominance once again over the next year or two. A line that is bound to put up a battle over the upcoming weeks is the 1.5110 demand level, which had left its mark on the pair's movements before. While a repeated close below this level has occurred on a daily basis, we are looking for a weekly close as a confirmation of the breach of this significant level.

Additionally, a channel down formation has been sketched on a monthly basis with the help of an additional trend-line that restricts the pair's movements from the upside. The pattern implies that the bear trend will continue.

The same pattern can be observed on the daily time-frame, implying a similar trend in the short-term as well. In the 30 minute chart, however, as rising wedge has been formed, signalling a reversal from the shorter-term uptrend, meaning that the pair could lack bullish momentum to reach the upper trend-line of the channel, suggesting that the bear market will remain strong further on.

EUR/NZD strength unclear, could retire senior downtrend

There seems to be, however, quite some bullish potential for the pair, at least form the technical point of view. 100-period and 55-period SMAs give a decent push towards the 200-period SMA and weekly R1 cluster at 1.5450 and the upper channel trend-line at 1.5474 after that. Bollinger Bands have been stretched to almost match the channel trend-lines, and the current location of the currency pair implies that trader sentiment is strongly positive, a claim backed by actual SWFX sentiment data as well.

While this morning's data release on the Italian Quarterly Unemployment rate changed almost nothing in the market, as the figures came exactly as expected, volatility could be up in Monday evening upon the New Zealand monthly FPI announcement. Tuesday is quite unlikely to leave markets calm as a set of European economic data as well as Draghi's speech will come out hours before New Zealand's current account information is released.
