NZD/USD: the pair is strengthening

FX:NZDUSD   New Zealand Dollar / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

NZD is actively growing against USD, stepping off the record minimum of the beginning of the week, supported by technical factors and the reluctance of investors to open new positions before June US employment market publication.

In addition, on Friday, reciprocal duties on goods produced in the US and China will be implied for a total of $68 billion (for both countries). President Trump’s Administration is negotiating with EU countries. According to German publications, the American ambassador in Germany claimed the possibility not to imply a 20% duty on European cars, if the EU cancels the corresponding duties on American cars imported to the EU countries.

June employment market data are expected to be worse than in May. The unemployment rate will grow from 2.7% to 2.8%, and Nonfarm Payrolls can fall from 223K to 195K. Thursday’s ADP Employment Change statistic was poor and decreased from 189K to 177K in June.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger bands unfold horizontally. The price range narrows, reacting to a change in the trade direction. MACD grows, keeping a strong buy signal (the histogram is above the signal line). Stochastic grows almost vertically, but it is approaching its highs, which reflects that NZD is overbought in the short term.

Current readings do not contradict the development of the "bullish" trend in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 0.6824, 0.6850, 0.6880, 0.6935.
