Near term resistance is at 0.7035, as long as this level holds, the downtrend could be expected to resume and a breakdown below 0.6931 support could trigger another bearish movement towards 0.6817. However, above 0.7035 resistance will indicate that lengthier consolidation for the downtrend is needed, then the pair will find resistance at the top trend line of the channel now at around 0.7140, followed by 0.7206.

For long term analysis, the NZD/USD pair is facing an important support at 0.6817 which acts as a neckline of a double top pattern on the weekly chart. Below this level will confirm that a reversal pattern had been formed, then the measured move target would be at around 0.6100 area.
