NZD/USD chart - Trading View 

NZD/USD slumps over 0.50% on the day, antipodeans largely ignore PBOC decision to keep interest rates pat.

The Chinese central bank left the rates unchanged at 3.85% for the sixth straight month in October as widely expected.

Bearish comments by the RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr on Monday keep pressure on the kiwi. Orr said that the RBNZ has plenty of room left in its QE program. 

He noted that RBNZ is aware of asset price inflation and that they would prefer to deal with inflation than battle deflation.

Technical bias for the pair is bearish. NZD/USD is on track to test immediate support at 110-EMA at 0.6540.

'Inverted Hammer' formation on Monday's candle adds to the downside pressure. Cloud caps recovery attempts. 

Momentum is with the bears and volatility is rising. Break below 110-EMA will see test of 23.6% Fib at 0.6484 ahead of 200-DMA at 0.6387.
