Analysis

The Main Trend turned up earlier in the week on the trade through .7647, but the NZD/USD has failed to show any upside momentum due to bearish fundamentals indicating a possible economic slowdown and contraction.

No damage was done to the uptrend on Wednesday as the market posted an inside range.  A trade through
.7531 will turn the main trend down, however.

An uptrending Gann angle at .7585 is providing support.  

Downtrending resistance from the main top at .7922 (5-27-08) is at .7652.  

A breakout through either one of these angles should set the tone for the day.

A weak U.S. Employment report is likely to trigger a breakout to the upside with a rally to a retracement zone at .7684 to .7740 likely.

With the main trend up and the yield attractive, lean toward the long side.
