NZD/USD sets stage for next up move
The US dollar continues to fall across the board, especially against haven currencies like the Japanese yen. But it is also weaker against the more high beta currencies too, despite the ongoing struggles in the stock markets. The NZD/USD stands ready to benefit from the weakening US dollar, especially in the event we see calm return to stocks.
The NZD/USD has been in consolidation mode for the past few days, declining inside what looks like a falling wedge continuation pattern.
The kiwi surged last month after a false break reversal pattern was formed around the 0.5860 level (see chart).
After hitting a high of just under 0.6300, it has dropped a bit to test - and so far hold - prior resistance at 0.6170 (see red arrows on the chart). This level has now turned into support. If we can now take out the pivotal 0.6218/20 level, then more gains could be on the way, initially targeting the liquidity now resting above the most recent high at 0.6300 area.
So far this week, we have had two disappointing employment indicators from the US, namely JOLTS job openings and now ADP private sector payrolls (rising by just 99K instead of 144K expected and prior number was revised lower too). From here, a substantial further decline in the US dollar would require further bearish US economic data this week. Friday's payrolls report is key in this regard. But any data-driven upside should be limited given the Fed’s clear signal that it will cut rates.
Put simply, weakness in US data is needed to keep the pressure on the US dollar, while the upside for the greenback should be limited on any data surprises because of the Fed’s strong indications that rate cuts are starting this month. This makes me bearish on the dollar and therefore bullish on major currency pairs like the NZD/USD.
