Kiwi is waiting for Yellen

NZD/USD reversed all the losses incurred during the previous week and came close the the important resistance area of 0.8280-0.8300. As long as the pair stays below, the longer term mode remains consolidative. Though intraday traders should not be discouraged, as the range is so wide that they will have plenty of trading opportunities. We do not have any meaningful news for kiwi today, so the pair may be influenced by speculations regarding Yellen’s testimony in Tuesday.
