NZD/USD Set For Next Leg Lower As Dojis Fail To Stir The Bulls

Talking Points

• 
  NZD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
  


• 
  Dark Cloud Cover heralded correction in prices
  


• 
  Dojis suggest some hesitation by traders near 0.8600
  

The break below 0.8600 for NZD/USD has been met with little downside follow-through thus far. The indecision amongst traders near the key technical level is made evident by a series of Doji candlesticks. Given the Dark Cloud Cover pattern on the daily, until a bullish reversal signal emerges the downside is preferred.

Drilling down to the four hour chart; the recent consolidation is made further evident. A break below nearby support at 0.8540 would likely see some buyers step in at the psychologically significant 0.8500 handle.
