Currently, price is testing the immediate  resistance as it tries to make a bullish reversal. If price is able to  make a break above the immediate resistance of 1.5493, a bullish  reversal may happen. If price continues to fall breaking the immediate  support it may suggest that a continuation of the bearish trend and  would validate the sell bias. RSI (14) remains within neutral zone,  suggesting the current bearish trend may continue.<\/p>\n<p>Recent Quake Weakens Kiwi<\/p>\n<p>The  Kiwi is possibly looking at a downward trend against US dollar as  reports show that New Zealand is experiencing a slow economic growth.  The stall in their economy is due to the lagging of their housing and  manufacturing sector. The lagging began when the nation&#8217;s worst  earthquake in eight decades occurred last September 4. The quake  measured a magnitude 7 and it shook Christchurch city. It is only now  that the aftermath is felt since as indicators for the third quarter  were released.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the sluggish growth adds to the case for  central bank Governor Alan Bollard to keep interest rates unchanged to  revitalize consumer confidence from a 17-month low and shore up housing  demand. As a result, the Kiwi is being pushed further down. Economists  say that New Zealand&#8217;s currency might show more weakness next year.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday&#8217;s  Asian session surprised traders as the three musketeers of the Asian  currency rallied against Fiber and Greenback. Despite absence of  economic indicators for Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, the three  currencies were unstoppable in reaching a bullish sentiment. Their  increases were probably because traders seek for a currency haven as the  Fiber and Greenback were fighting against each other of which currency  should trade higher.<\/p>\n<p>For today&#8217;s session, the events of yesterday  would probably just mirror as there are no indicators for tomorrow.  However, any market moving event that may transpire in America and  Europe might cause the Asian currencies to fall as they have been on a  pedestal for the entire week already. The need for neutralization is  already urgent.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Forex Signs, Inc., Founded in 2006 in Wall Street, New  York City, FSI relentlessly strives to be the premier Forex brokerage  company in the industry by providing exclusive and unmatched trading and  investment related services while constantly developing innovative  solutions that cater to the vast requirements of both individual and  institutional market participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GBPUSD continued its bearish trend, as seen on H1 chart, while price is consolidating between immediate support level of 1.5389 and immediate resistance level of 1.5434.
