GBP/NZD 1H Chart: Remains bearish after plungeThe British Sterling has been strengthening against the New Zealand Dollar since mid-April. This movement was constrained in an ascending wedge, as the pair was diminishing its trading range.
As apparent on the chart, the rate entered a minor period of consolidation this week, as it was unable to overcome the strong resistance of the 38.20% Fibo retracement and the weekly R3 at 1.9750. This trading session marked a massive 1.23% plunge which was caused by disappointing UK GDP data. As a result, the pair breached the aforementioned wedge and was trading at 1.95 at the time of this analysis.
The pair could fall even lower in this session until the 1.9415 area where the weekly PP and the 100– and 200-period SMAs on the 4H time-frame area located. Some slight bullish correction up to the 1.97 could follow; however, the general trend within the following week should nevertheless remain south down to the senior pattern located in the 1.9300/1.9325 area.

GBP/NZD! LONG OR SHORT?!WELL WELL WELL.
Look at what we've got here guys, a real opportunity to go long!
Cool, so currently prices are approaching the 1.93000 Region and we may get the opportunity to go to the upside taking out prior highs and also penetrating the 1.95000 Region.
HOWEVER.
What seems realistic is that prices will head down to our support zone and may bounce of the key level to the upside or we run the risk of going to downside target of the 1.91000 Region . (KISS ON THE TREND LINE)
Whichever way this goes, you might want to look at your volume guys!
Be Safe!
