The NZD/USD pair was trapped within the depicted price range (0.6860-0.6990) until a bullish breakout occurred.

A bullish breakout above 0.6960-0.7000 allowed the pair to head toward the price level of 0.7100 (the key level) which failed to provide sufficient bearish pressure on the pair.

Bullish persistence above 0.7100 allowed a further advance toward 0.7250-0.7350 (Sell-Zone) where the bearish price action was expected.

Bearish persistence below 0.7250 allowed a further decline toward 0.7100 then 0.6960 which failed to provide enough support for the pair.

That is why a further fall was expected toward 0.6860 (the lower limit of the depicted BUY zone) where a bullish position was suggested in previous articles.

Recently, a bullish breakout was achieved above the depicted key level (0.6960).

That is why the recent bearish pullback toward 0.6960 offered significant bullish rejection and a valid BUY entry which is running in profits now.

Note the depicted bullish 1-2-3 pattern with projection target around 0.7250 provided that bullish fixation above 0.7080-0.7100 (neckline) is achieved on a daily basis.

On the other hand, the price level of 0.7100 remains a significant key level to prevent a further bullish advance toward 0.7250.
