FxWirePro: NZD/USD takes support at 0.6818 'Double Bottom', break below to see further weakness

  • NZD/USD down 0.05% on the day, pauses downside after 3 consecutive sessions of losses.
     
  • Selling pressure around the NZD gathered steam in Asia after weak China Caixin PMI data.
     
  • China's Nov Caixin manufacturing PMI came in at 50.8 in November vs. 50.9 expected and 51.00 last. 
     
  • The pair is trading with a bearish bias, fails to hold gains above 20-DMA. 
     
  • Downside is now holding support at 0.6818 'Double Bottom', break below will see further weakness.
     
  • Scope then for test 0.6780 (Nov 17 lows) and then 0.6750 (trendline support).

Support levels - 0.6818 (double bottom), 0.6809 (61.8% Fib retrace of 0.6347 to 0.7558 rally), 0.6780 (Nov 17 low), 0.6750 (trendline)

Resistance levels - 0.6870 (5-DMA), 0.6881 (20-DMA), 0.6952 (50% Fib), 0.6980 (Nov 9 high)

Recommendation: Good to go short on decisive break below 0.6818, SL: 0.6850, TP: 0.68/ 0.6780/ 0.6750.
