For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 0.61872 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 0.61600. On the downside, we are looking at week low 0.61097 or 0.61327 (WS1) as immediate support level. NZDUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias.
