Current trend
During the Asian session, the NZD/USD pair retreats from the highs of September 29 and is preparing to test the psychological level of 0.6000 for a breakdown.
Tomorrow, American September data on manufacturing inflation will be published: forecasts suggest a slight slowdown in the indicator from 0.7% to 0.4% MoM, although the growth of 1.6% YoY will remain. Also, the minutes of the September meeting of the US Federal Reserve will be published, at which the regulator paused tightening monetary policy: experts hope to gain more clarity regarding another interest rate increase before the end of the year. On Thursday, the market will receive a report on consumer price inflation: preliminary estimates suggest a slowdown from 0.6% to 0.3% MoM and from 3.7% to 3.6% YoY.
On Friday, traders will focus on statistics on business activity and retail sales in New Zealand for September, as well as the consumer inflation index in China, which may increase by 0.3% MoM and 0.2% YoY.
Support and resistance
On the daily chart, Bollinger Bands are steadily growing: the price range is expanding but not as fast as the “bullish” sentiment develops. The MACD indicator is rising, maintaining a strong buy signal (the histogram is above the signal line), and is trying to consolidate above the zero level. Stochastic maintains a confident upward direction but is close to its highs, showing that the New Zealand dollar may become overbought soon.
Resistance levels: 0.6030, 0.6047, 0.6075, 0.6100.
Support levels: 0.6000, 0.5976, 0.5950, 0.5934.
Trading tips
Long positions may be opened after 0.6030 is broken upward with the target at 0.6100. Stop loss – 0.6000. Implementation time: 2–3 days.
Short positions may be opened after a rebound from 0.6030 and a breakdown of 0.6000 with the target at 0.5950. Stop loss – 0.6030.
