The NZD/USD has endured a prolonged corrective phase which was initiated after this currency pair reached an intra-day high of 0.8407 on August 28th 2014 while the downward move may have reached its end with an intra-day low of 0.8077 on September 17th 2014. GDP data for the second-quarter out of New Zealand came in strong than economist expected which is favorable for the New Zealand dollar; a continued move higher after the bounce off of its intra-day low is anticipated.
Price action has caught an upward drift after what may have been a capitulation low and has recorded a series of higher lows and higher highs which are expected to continue as the uptrend matures. Binary options traders can profit from the expected acceleration upwards with binary call options. Today’s binary options trading strategy suggests call options to be placed on dips below 0.8140 for a risk/reward ratio of 1.0/2.86.
The drop which resulted in the capitulation low was a direct result of the US Fed press conference and has quickly reversed as traders direct their focus to the underlying economic strength of the New Zealand dollar. The current upward rift is expected to push the NZD/USD back above its former support line which currently acts as a minor resistance level. A breakout is expected to further accelerate the move higher which favors binary call options in the NZD/USD currency pair.
The first major resistance level for the expected rally in the NZD/USD after a breakout above its current support/resistance level awaits this currency pair at 0.8229 which is an intra-day high reached on September 16th 2014 before the final step lower in the corrective phase led to the capitulation from where the upward drift emerged. A breakout above this level will clear the path to the 0.8269 level which is an intra-day low reached on September 5th 2014 while the final resistance level is located at 0.8350.
