Technical analysis of NZD/USD for January 04, 2018

Overview:

The NZD/USD pair did not make a significant movement yesterday. There are no changes in my technical outlook. The bias remains bullish in the nearest term testing 0.7227 or higher. Then, the NZD/USD pair is trading upwards above the area of 0.7060/0.7080. Last days, the pair rose from the level of 0.7062 to a top around 0.7100. Today, the first resistance level is seen at 0.7160 followed by 0.7227, while daily support 1 is seen at 0.7062. According to the previous events, the NZD/USD pair is still moving between the levels of 0.7050 and 0.7160. Furthermore, if the trend is able to break through the first resistance level at 0.7160, we should see the pair climbing towards the double top (0.7227) to test it. Therefore, buy above the level of 0.7100 with the first target at 0.7160 in order to test the daily resistance 1 and further to 0.7227.

Also, it might be noted that the level of 0.7227 is a good place to take profit because it will form a new double top on the H4 chart. On the other hand, in case a reversal takes place and the NZD/USD pair breaks through the support level of 0.7062, a further decline to 0.6978 can occur, which would indicate a bearish market. On the whole, we still look for a strong bullish market as long as the trend is still set above the spot of 0.7060.
