NZD/USD technical analysis: Off session highs, but the falling channel breakout is still valid
- NZD/USD has backed off from the session high of 0.6588 reached in early Asia.
- The bullish structure on the 4-hour chart is still intact with key indicator reporting a bullish divergence.
The NZD/USD is currently trading at 0.6550, having hit a high of 0.6588 earlier today.
Despite the pullback, the outlook as per the 4-hour chart remains bullish, as the falling channel breakout confirmed earlier today is still valid.
Further, the spot is currently trading well above 0.6508 - the low of the bullish engulfing candle created on the 4-hour chart earlier today.
So, a move back to the session high of 0.6558 cannot be ruled out. Supporting the case is the bullish divergence of the 4-hour chart relative strength index.
The bullish case would weaken if the spot finds acceptance below 0.6508.
