The NZD/USD Forex market has produced its largest rally in nearly 11 months this morning in Asian trade hours. The US Dollar has seen a bit of a collapse early on. This Forex market has now broken out of its two week old range trade as it pushed above the pivot at 0.66. Please note the below NZD/USD daily MT 4 chart for today’s technical analysis. Once again the support near 0.64 has held.
Technical Analysis

Trade Strategy
Now let’s discuss today’s daily NZD/USD trade strategy. The dominant trend in this Forex market remains bearish. This latest bounce higher remains corrective and I will wait for it to lose steam. Keeping this in mind, I will opt to stand aside and wait for another short NZD sale to come along. For today, I opt to stay flat in the NZD/USD Forex market until my desired short sale materializes.
