NZDUSD Scalp Chart
Notes: A key outside reversal day at multi-year highs on the first of the month initially shifted our focus to the downside on NZDUSD heading into start of the April trade. The subsequent reversal and failure to hold above the initial April 1st high at the 87-handle and compelling daily RSI divergence has me looking for a near-term high here. As we open the week, prices look to be in consolidation with a series of lower highs and higher lows and we’ll look for a breakout for further guidance on our near-term directional bias. Daily RSI does have some room to the topside so I still wouldn’t put it past this thing to make another run at the highs.
Bottom line: the weekly opening range is set just above a key Fibonacci confluence at 8630 with a break below shifting our focus into subsequent support targets heading into the close of the week against 8700. Although the weekly opening range high comes in at 8692, the 61.8% retracement of the decline off the highs comes in just higher at 8698 and we will use this threshold as our topside limit. A breach/close above invalidates our bearish outlook and looks to challenge the 2014 highs made last week with more substantial resistance seen higher at 8760/93. Use caution heading into the New Zealand / US inflation prints over the next 24-hours Follow the progress of this trade setup and more throughout the trading week with DailyFX on Demand.
