On the downside

There is a bearish trend line with resistance at around 0.6930 on the daily chart. As long as the price is below the trend line, the downside movement could be expected to continue and next target would be at the May 30, 2016 low of 0.6675. Below here would aim next support level at the January 20, 2016 low of 0.6346.

On the upside

Near term resistance is located at the falling trend line on the 4-hour chart now at 0.6875. A clear break above the trend line resistance could bring price back towards next resistance level at 0.6979. A breakout of this level will indicate that lengthier consolidation for the downtrend from 0.7557 is needed, then the NZDUSD pair would find next resistance at around 0.7050.
