AUD/NZD 15-min Foreign exchange Chart by TradingView

USD volatility and worth motion will seemingly be cray within the subsequent buying and selling periods so I assumed I ought to take a better take a look at AUD/NZD as an alternative.

The pair has been in an uptrend since final week when it discovered help from the 1.0600 main psychological deal with.

Can the pair sustain its upswing?

AUD/NZD’s present costs usually are not too removed from the 1.0800 psychological stage that has been serving as help since March.

As you’ll be able to see, 1.0800 proper across the R1 of right this moment’s Customary Pivot Factors.

If Australia’s labor market stories are available in stronger than markets expect, then AUD might shoot as much as the R1 or R2 zone.
