NZD/USD Pullback From 76.4% Resistance Underway

The FX Specialist view - A Jun/Jul recovery in NZD/USD seemed to lessen the threat from medium term bears, but recently resistance from the 76.4% retracement level effectively repelled the gains, and the first sign of momentum loss has now appeared.

• WEEKLY CHART: Earlier in 2010 clear support was seen from the 38.2% pullback level, with the subsequent bounce impressive. However, note that, on this chart, at least temporary resistance has been found near to a former 76.4% chart level. Now look at the Daily chart...
• DAILY CHART: On this chart note that resistance has come from a 76.4% recovery level. Momentum loss has now been signalled by the recent breach of the s/term bull channel base. Temporary support is emerging from a falling resistance/return line (and the current chart structure could be suggesting a rebound attempt is not far off) – ideally any s/term bounce will find resistance from around the 0.7186 30-Jul low. A later break of the return line would be further negative, with lower 0.6800 former lows area then becoming the key support.
