The NZD/USD has recently moved away from its intra-day high of 0.7974 which was reached on November 17th 2014. Prior to this move the NZD/USD enjoyed a strong move higher after it reached an intra-day low of 0.7660 which was reached on November 7th 2014. The move to the downside was initiated amid temporary strength in the US Dollar, but was halted by its ascending support level which intersected its horizontal support level from where it managed to drift upwards.

The NZD/USD is expected to maintain its upward momentum and continue to advance. Binary options traders can take advantage from the expected continuation of the advance with binary call options. Today’s binary options trading strategy suggests call options to be placed on dips below 0.7875 for a risk/reward ratio of 1.0/1.43.
The NZD/USD has enjoyed a low volatility trading environment, but volatility is expected to increase especially as price action will approach its ascending support level once again.

This favors binary call options in the NZD/USD currency pair.
