NZD/USD maintains narrow consolidation

FXstreet.com (New York) - The NZD/USD technical pair failed to make any waves thus far during Asian trading Wednesday morning, unable to retest yesterdays American highs (0.7881).

At the time of writing, the NZD/USD is maintaining a sideways consolidation, ranging only 9 pips thus far during Asian trading (0.7846 – 0.7855). Presently, the pair is now residing at the 0.7854 mark, en route to a marginal +0.01% advance thus far. Technically speaking, this exchange rate is nestled around the 20-day SMA, facing slight resistance at 0.7854 (200-day SMA).

Strategic bias

According to the Technical Analyst Team at ICN.com, “The NZD/USD benefited from stabilizing above the 0.7715 level, then rebounded to the upside due in part to the fact that the linear regression indicators turned from negative to positive. However, the pair is still stable inside the descending channel and below 0.7925 represented in 61.8% correction. Therefore, negativity is still possible and trading below the last referred to level will keep these expectations valid.”
