GBPNZD has been in a bearish trend for the last couple of months. The price is making lower lows and will possibly drop further as the market structure is still bearish.
The formation of a bearish head and shoulder pattern signals an impending downtrend. The H&S pattern is an important indicator of the continuation of the bearish trend.
I am expecting the price will retrace to the shoulder of the 2.05500 resistance level and the right shoulder of the pattern before the drop. I will short the GBP/NZD once the price retraces to the 2.0550 resistance level and my target for this trade would be the 2.0300 daily support level.
