FxWirePro: NZD/USD breaks below 61.8% Fib, good to go short on rallies

  • NZD/USD breaks below 61.8% Fib at 0.7031, momentum bearish, bias lower.
     
  • The major has edged higher from 19-week lows at 0.6990 and is currently trading at 0.7008 levels.
     
  • Minor recovery attempts capped below 61.8% Fib as USD remains bid into FOMC meeting due later today.
     
  • The Fed is expected to hold steady, but markets are pricing in a further rate hike within the next few months.
     
  • A hawkish outcome could push the USD higher across the board, weighing further on the pair.
     
  • Next major bear target lies at 0.6954 (Dec 20 lows) ahead of 0.6920 (78.6% Fib).
     
  • On the flipside, 5-DMA is immediate resistance, break above will see minor upside. Bearish invalidation only above 200-DMA.

Resistance levels - 0.7031 (61.8% Fib), 0.7039 (5-DMA), 0.7108 (50% Fib)
