GBP/NZD- Technical Analysis- H4 Chart

The chart shows that the price has been on consolidation after being bearish on the H4 chart. The simple moving average 30 has been working as a resistance. The sellers may wait for the moving average’s resistance to cross the horizontal level and the chart to produce a bearish reversal signal at that confluence level. If that happens, the pair may make a strong bearish move and find its support around 2.00000. It would be a huge move since the number is extremely round, which will play a vital role to determine the pair’s next direction for quite a while.

The buyers on the other hand may wait for the price to breach the SMA 30’s resistance and push the price towards the North. In that case, it may find its resistance around 2.06500.
