NZD/USD above 0.8300, but still under pressure

FXStreet (Moscow) - NZD/USD gapped to 0.8307 at the opening, but managed to recover towards its current level on 0.8322, thus closing the gap.

Not everything is lost

NZD/USD has been falling three weeks in a row. A series of lower lows and lower highs on weekly chart leaves no room for optimism from the longer-term perspective. On daily charts the picture is a bit brighter as kiwi managed to recover from new multi-month lows at 0.8269 and finished Friday above 0.8300 pivot. It means that a short-term upside correction from the oversold levels might be in store, though we need a sustained break above 0.8347 to hope for a movement towards the next bullish target at 0.8376. On the downside, 0.8300 is the key. As long as the pair stays above, kiwi bulls have a chance.
