Analysis

The NZD/USD main trend is down.  The market is down six days from the last main top at .7664 (06-30-08), but nearing the last main bottom at .7445 (06-13-08).

Gann Angles

There is no uptrending Gann angle support as the market has broken below every available level.

On the upside, however, the market has closed on the weak side of a downtrending Gann angle at .7524.  The market may trade on both sides of this angle until it can pull away.

Regaining .7524 could set up a rally to .7594.

Swing Chart

The main trend is down unless the market regains .7664.  

Look for more downside pressure if the June 13 main bottom is penetrated at .7445.

There may be some support at 50% of the August 2007 to February 2008 range at .7427.  This is a major 50% price.

Additional support may come in at the low of the year at .7382 (01-22-08).

The market is weak but approaching a major support area.

Trading Ideas

With the main trend down, the saftest trade is from the short-side.  Look to sell a rally back to .7574 to .7595 if given the opportunity.  Downtrending resistance comes in at .7594 making .7594 to .7595 a key resistance cluster.

Because of the importance of the 50% price at .7427 and the old main bottom at .7382, look for some profit-taking in this zone and perhaps some counter-trend buying.
