NZD/USD rebounds from 0.7258
In line with expectations, Kiwi continued to lose value against the American Dollar until the pair has reached a support at the 0.7258 level. Since the area below consisted of many loss trades and take profit orders, the currency rate made a successful rebound and started to surge towards the weekly PP at 0.7331.
At the moment, the pair is moving horizontally, being squeezed between the above support level from the bottom and a combination of the 55- and 100-hour SMAs and the monthly S1 from the top. The bearish market sentiment has increased by 1% since yesterday and now amounts to 68%. In addition, a summary of various technical indicators for the upcoming day also send strong sell signals.
This information might mean the pair is still fluctuating in a descending channel, while the little bugle on August 10 simply represents a correction after an announcement of the Official Cash Rate.

Despite the 32-pips appreciation of the Greenback that was caused by a surprising release of information on the US Retail Sales, the currency rate managed to stay within an active descending channel.
Basically, today the Kiwi has to try to restore some of the lost positions and, thus, climb at least to the 0.7279 level. After reaching that target, the rate is expected to make a rebound, because of the additional pressure exercised by the 55- and 100-hour SMAs.
A summary of technical indicators for the 5H and 1D timeframes support this scenario. However, there is a need to take into account a release of data on the US Building Permits, which, depending on the result, might accelerate the fall or help the pair to clear a path to the top.
