Talking Points

• NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred

• Recovery Questionable With Reversal Patterns Lacking

• Daily Close Below 0.8260 Opens Grind Towards 0.8060

NZD/USD has slid below the 0.8260 floor with an absence of key reversal patterns leaving the immediate risks skewed to the downside for the pair. Against the backdrop of a core downtrend on the daily this opens the prospect of a grind towards the February lows near 0.8060.
