  • NZD/USD has broken out of a multi-month range and is following through to the upside. 
  • The breakout activates upside targets and indicates the trend has probably turned bullish.

NZD/USD 4-hour Chart 

NZD/USD is likely to rally to the next target at 0.6409, the December 2023 high. This is a conservative target for the pair – the breakout from the range activates an upside target that is higher at 0.6448, calculated by taking the 0.618 ratio of the height of the range and extrapolating it higher. 

Since the break the short-term trend has now probably transitioned from sideways to bullish. Given “the trend is your friend” the odds favor long positions over short positions.
