NZD/USD technical levels: Holds below 0.63, focus on today's close

  • NZD/USD on Monday created a bullish inside bar candle, signaling seller exhaustion at four-year lows. 
  • A close above Monday's high is needed to confirm a bullish reversal. 

NZD/USD is currently trading largely unchanged on the day near 0.6295, representing marginal losses on the day, having hit a high of 0.6302 earlier today.

The pair is attempting gains amid the uptick in the US equity futures. As of writing, the S&P 500 futures are reporting a 0.28% gain.

Today's close pivotal

The pair created a bullish inside bar candlestick pattern on Monday. That candle is widely considered as an early warning of a potential bullish reversal, especially when it appears after prolonged sell-off or at multi-month lows.

In NZD's case, that candle has appeared at the lowest level since September 2015 and represents seller exhaustion.

A bullish reversal, however, could be confirmed only if the pair closes today above the inside bar's high of 0.6299.

The bears, however, could make a strong comeback if the pair ends today below 0.6258 (Monday's low).
