Technical analysis of NZD/USD for November 25, 2014

Fundamental overview:

NZD/USD is expected to consolidate with a bearish bias. It is undermined by the China growth worries and weak commodity prices. But NZD/USD downside is limited by the NZD-USD interest differential, softer USD sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 88.15 versus 88.41 early Monday) after lower Markit flash U.S. November services PMI of 56.3 versus final October reading of 57.1, drop in Chicago Fed National Activity Index to +0.14 in October from +0.29 in September and Kiwi demand on buoyant NZD/JPY cross amid the positive risk sentiment and Kiwi demand on soft AUD/NZD cross.

Technical Comment:
Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bullish, but stochastics is in bearish mode.
