NZD/USD was rejected at day's highs by 0.6661, but remains supported above daily cloud (currently spanning 0.6534-0.6615).
Weakness only below 0.6580 (trendline resistance), pair could then test next support at 0.65 levels.
Markets seem to have intensified expectations for the RBNZ to cut OCR this year, following a slump in NZ business confidence and inflation expectations.
There is scope for RBNZ to ease twice this year, but markets have fully priced in only one cut, making further downside vulnerable.
Doji formation seen on Monday's candle, pair faded minor-recovery attempts and was rejected at highs at 0.6661 to currently trades around 0.6634 levels.
We expect the pair to continue trading sideways for the week in the range 0.6745-0.6565
