Pair's Outlook
As was anticipated, the New Zealand Dollar outperformed its US counterpart on Tuesday, with gains limited by the 0.69 major level, between the 20-day SMA and the weekly PP. The bullish momentum appears to have lost steam and a decline is expected. Immediate support lies around 0.6870, namely the 20-day SMA and the ascending channel's support line. A close above 0.6857 would preserve the channel pattern, but risks of a breach are growing, with the second level to limit the dips located at 0.6814 in face of the monthly PP. Technical indicators, however, are giving mixed signals, creating a possibility of a bullish outcome.
