The FX Specialist view – A Jun/Jul recovery in NZD/USD seemed to lessen the threat from medium term bears, but recently resistance from the 76.4% retracement level effectively repelled the gains, and the first sign of momentum loss has now appeared.

  • WEEKLY CHART:
    Earlier in 2010 clear support was seen from the 38.2% pullback level, with the subsequent bounce impressive.
    However, note that, on this chart, at least temporary resistance has been found near to a former 76.4% chart level.
    Now look at the Daily chart
  • DAILY CHART:
    On this chart note that resistance has come from a 76.4% recovery level.
    Momentum loss has now been signalled by the recent breach of the s/term bull channel base.
    Temporary support is emerging from a falling resistance/return line (and the current chart structure could be suggesting a rebound attempt is not far off) – ideally any s/term bounce will find resistance from around the 0.7186 30-Jul low.
    A later break of the return line would be further negative, with lower 0.6800 former lows area then becoming the key support.
