The forecast for the AUD/NZD turned bullish after this currency pair corrected into the Senkou Span A of its Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud, which started to adopt a bullish tone. The Kijun-sen started to ascend, but the Tenkan-sen continues to move lower, suggesting short-term volatility ahead before the next leg higher can develop.
