AUD/NZD Price Analysis: pinned to near-term lows around 1.0730
|- AUD/NZD stuck near 1.0730 as the pair fails to find a reason to bid out of recent lows.
- The Kiwi's strong showing across the FX markets is keeping the Aussie on the backfoot.
- The Kiwi is the strongest performer of the major currencies, in the green against all contenders.
The AUD/NZD is testing into near-term lows around the 1.0730 level as the Aussie (AUD) struggles to find a foothold against the Kiwi (NZD) after a mid-week plunge took the pair down 1.3% from 1.0861 into new lows at 1.0720.
The AUD/NZD's recent backslide took the pair cleanly through the last swing low and the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), both near 1.0800 with the 50-day SMA stuck into the midrange against the longer-term moving average.
The way is open for further declines into 1.0625 at early October's lows, provided sellers can push the pair through technical support from the mid-years low points at 1.0730 which is challenging the current bids.
The Kiwi is the single strongest currency of the majors this week, in the green against the entire major currency bloc from Monday's opening bids.
On the flip side of that, the Aussie sees a mixed showing at best, with the AUD/NZD down nine-tenths of one percent on the week.
