Pair's Outlook
Tuesday was a good day for the Kiwi/Dollar pair, as it reached the highest level in the past five weeks. Despite that the New Zealand Dollar opened in front of the Bollinger band and the monthly R1, which form a rather strong resistance area circa 0.6986, a close above the 0.70 mark is expected. The Kiwi has been appreciating against the US Dollar since the beginning of the previous week; and this short-term bullish trend is likely to last until price touches the upper border of the one-year asce0nding channel pattern at 0.7106. The interim resistance before the trend-line is put to the test is the May and April high at 0.7055, which is also reinforced by the weekly R1 this week.
