Looking ahead on Monday after previous session, NZDUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 0.61920.

Our weekly technical outlook for NZDUSD looks bearish, immediate support level is at 0.61590 (WS1) with break below could see further selling pressure towards 0.60766 (WS2). For potential buyers, as the current momentum is bearish, we prefer to look at firm break of the week high of 0.63899 as an important indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below last week low of 0.61920 would indicate selling pressure.

For the month of February, NZDUSD is down by -3.04% or -195.9 pips lower.
