Opportunity Knocks? Kiwi's Next Move Hinges on RBNZ and 87.70

Intraday trend remains neutral as long as the resistance at 87.70 holds. The pair trades in a narrow range ahead of the RBNZ monetary policy tomorrow. It hits an intraday high of 87.69 and is currently trading around 87.56. The overall bearish trend is intact as long as resistance 89.20 holds.

Tomorrow, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to lower the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points to 3.0%, thereby continuing its easing cycle following July's break. Forward guidance will probably stress a data-dependent approach for future cuts, with the door open but prognosis unknown.
