Both NZD/USD and AUD/USD Post Solid Rebounds Since Brexit Sell Offs
The New Zealand and Australian Dollars were displaying bullish outlooks versus the US dollar and aiming higher into the key UK vote on EU Membership last Thursday (23rd June).
Despite the immediate sell offs after the vote, with a general “risk off” move, the subsequent rebounds by both NZD/USD and AUD/USD into late June (this week) have highlighted an ongoing upside bias.
NZD/USD retains an underlying bullish trend theme, whilst AUD/USD is indicating a positive tone within a still broader range environment.
NZD/USD
A still better rebound Wednesday to build on the Tuesday bounce from ahead of key .6966/60 support (off .6977), to push through resistance at .7082/85 and .7114 to shift the bias higher for Thursday.
For Today:
- We see an upside bias for .7136 and .7158; break here aims for .7207/27.
- But below .7053 opens risk down to .7014.
However, we still point out risk for a push below the key .6960 level for a switch in the intermediate-term outlook from bullish to a neutral range theme.
Short/ Intermediate-term Outlook - Upside Risks: A previous shift to an intermediate-term bullish tone above .7054.
- We see a positive tone with the bullish threat to 7298.
- Above here targets 7396/7413 and .7564.
What Changes This? Below .6960 signals a neutral tone, only shifting negative below .6676.
