Since June 11, the direction of the NZD/USD has been controlled by the minor pivot at .6483.

NZD/USD

The New Zealand Dollar is inching higher early Thursday as a rise in coronavirus cases in the United States is weighing on optimism about a quick economic recovery, while pressuring demand for the higher-yielding Kiwi and making the safe-haven greenback a more attractive asset. The U.S. Dollar was also boosted by the news that the United States is weighing tariffs on European products.

At 04:39 GMT, the NZD/USD is trading .6420, up 0.0011 or +0.16%.

In other news, according to the International Monetary Fund, the coronavirus pandemic is causing wider and deeper damage to economic activity than first thought, prompting the institution to slash its 2020 global output forecasts further.

Additionally, on Wednesday, New Zealand’s central bank kept rates unchanged and maintained its pace of quantitative easing, but struck a dovish tone by flagging it was ready to ease policy to restore an economy hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

Since June 11, the direction of the NZD/USD has been controlled by the minor pivot at .6483. Therefore, the direction of the market Forex pair on Thursday is likely to be determined by trader reaction to this level.

Bearish Scenario

A sustained move under .6483 will indicate the presence of sellers. The first two downside targets are main bottoms at .6383 and .6381. The latter is a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the downside with the next major target level coming in at .6253.

Bullish Scenario

A sustained move over .6483 will signal the return of buyers. This could lead to a challenge of the main top at .6533. Taking out this level could trigger a surge into .6585.
