The forecast for the EUR/NZD remains bearish after this currency pair corrected into its descending Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud. Price action may temporarily pause, and volatility can increase, but the longer-term downtrend remains intact. The Tenkan-sen turned higher with the Kijun-sen flat, confirming short-term choppiness will likely follow. Adding to the bearish technical outlook is the CCI, which corrected from extreme overbought territory and now faces more downside. Will bears pressure the EUR/NZD into an extended sell-off into its horizontal support area? Subscribe to the PaxForex Daily Fundamental Analysis and earn over 5,000 pips per month.
