NZD/USD consolidates +300 pips wins; at 0.8370 zone, 23.6% Fibo level
FXstreet.com (Chicago) - NZD/USD faces back up after a short-lived retracement from session peaks. Ahead of Tokyo’s opening, +300 pips wins continue being consolidated around 4-month highs.
Combination of factors
A weaker greenback on Fed’s decision and FOMC economic projections combined with a stronger than expected NZ GDP data at 2.5% vs. estimates at 2.1% led the pair to 4-month peaks with a momentary spike above the 0.8430 zone. Ahead of visitors arrivals data in NZ and after light bearish pressure on the pair, the kiwi consolidates 300 pips gained so far this week.
NZD/USD Technical Levels
