NZDUSD - FACES FURTHER WEAKNESS AHEAD

Short
FX:NZDUSD   New Zealand Dollar / U.S. Dollar
In my last published chart of NZDUSD under the title "Could Kiwi Run or Fly" almost 3 months a go, what appeared to potential falling wedge in fact turned out to be a connector wave X and which broke down with price accelerating to the downside and USD gathering momentum to the upside.

In that post further weakness was not ruled out as at least a retracement was anticipated which did not materialise.

In fact since then price appear to have formed double bottom leading anticipation that we might have ended the bearish cycle.

I would have no problem with that, however looking at the bounce from the last low of 11th March, it appears that wave A is a zigzag, ie 3 swings rather than 5 (normally a sign of corrective move), which is then followed by potentially rising wedge, similar to several USD pair on H4 time frame. This rising wedge (Ending Diagonal) also suggests that the corrective move to the upside could have ended.

Likewise DXY appears to be forming corrective move to rather than evidence of reversal. If correct then further weakness for Kiwi lies a head.

Though there are many who have switched to bullish side saying that double bottom marks the end of bearish cycle.

Technicals:

1. The bounce of the last low is abc zgzag with wave c being and ending diagonal rising wedge.
2. overall still in down trending channel and bumping against previous support which now could turn into resistance. So far the price seems to have rejected higher prices.
3. Next potential support could be at 50% retracement of the 2009 low to 2011 high is 0.69 (if the 0.7180 zone of double bottom fails to hold).
4. Potential low around 0.69 could be supported by several fib confluence of both retracement and extension.
5. Oh H4 - the MACD has just formed a bearish cross and RSI failing at overbought zone.
6. Weekly RSI still below 50 and could fail to breach it.

Conclusion:

Any Bulls should not give too much room to their long positions as this is a high risk trade.

Traders should see what confirmation they require to consider possible short trade.

Observe the price as it moves to 0.72 in order to get clues about future expectation namely if the previous low would hold and form triple bottom or head to lower zone around 0.69.
