NZD/USD is at a crossroads near the 0.7730 floor with a void of bullish reversal formations suggesting a recovery may prove challenging. This leaves a downside break preferred for fresh short positioning with a target offered by the 2012 low near 0.7450.

The four hour chart should be closely monitored for early signs of a corrective bounce. Already a Bullish Engulfing formation appears to be emerging. Yet a close of the second candle and successive up-period would be required to offer a more definitive signal. This may prove challenging with sellers likely sitting nearby at the 0.7790 ceiling.
