- A range breakdown would imply a resumption of the sell-off from the recent high of 0.6783 and could yield a deeper drop toward 0.66, as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is biased bearish at 35.00.
- A range breakout would open the doors for a retest of 0.6700-0.6720.
- The official data due for release at 03:00 GMT is expected to show the credit card spending in New Zealand rose 5.5 percent year-on-year in March, following a 6.4 percent rise in February.
- A weaker-than-expected will likely boost the RBNZ rate cut bets and send in the NZD lower across the board. Hence, a range breakout, if confirmed ahead of the data release, should be viewed with caution by the NZD bulls.
