Although we see risk of a corrective consolidation lower for both the New Zealand and Australian Dollars, we still see an underlying positive tone for these currencies versus the US Dollar into October.
For NZDUSD, the strong base has been reinforced through mid-month to signal upside risks, whilst for AUDUSD we see a positive bias within a broader range, with bias for a bullish switch.
NZDUSD
An early October rally through key .6561 resistance, then through .6708, .6738, .6772 and .6788 targets has reinforced bullish tone for October.
Short/ Intermediate-term Outlook – Upside Risks:
- We see a bullish threat to .6924/30.
- Above here targets .7000/09/12 and .7232.
What Changes This? Below .6473 signals a neutral tone, only shifting negative below .6232.

Range Breakout Challenge
