FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The NZD/USD managed to hold up above key support at 0.8139 and rebound sharply on Monday – posting a bullish key reversal candle in the process.

NZD/USD traders very light data flow off of which to work this week

Technical outlook for NZD/USD

Technicians say the NZD/USD did a nice job of reversing convincingly after testing support at 0.8139. The cross initially broke support during Monday’s session, but then reversed hard to the upside when weaker-than-expected pending home sales data were released by the US later in the session. Additional comes into play at the 11/29 low of 0.8083. Resistance comes into play for NZD/USD at last Friday’s high of 0.8223 and is backed up by the 12/16 high of 0.8287.
