GBPNZD Technical Analysis | Market is bearish after a daily shooting star candle
BY Janne Muta
|November 8, 2023GBPNZD Technical Analysis- The GBPNZD pair remained weak as expectations for inflation in New Zealand declined only slightly to 2.76%, down from 2.83% in the preceding quarter. While the latest value is well below the January 2023 high of 3.62% the inflation expectations have remained near the current level since the Q1 this year.
In October the RBNZ signalled that with inflation remaining too high the OCR needs to stay at a restrictive level in order to return inflation to the 1 to 3% range (BRNZ goal) by H2 of 2024. The central bank saw a near-term risk that economic activity and inflation would not slow as much as expected.
Summary of This GBPNZD Technical Analysis Report:
- GBPNZD remained weak as expectations for inflation in New Zealand declined only slightly (2.76%, 2.83% previous).
- The last complete GBPNZD weekly candle is a bearish wide-range candle with a close below the previous week's close. Such an increase in downside momentum after a narrow-range candle the week before suggests the market is more likely to move lower than rally above last week's high.
- The daily GBPNZD chart shows how the market has broken a market structure level at 2.0735 and created a bearish shooting star candle in yesterday's trading. As a result, the market is bearish also in the daily timeframe.

Weekly GBPNZD Technical Analysis
The last complete GBPNZD weekly candle is a bearish wide-range candle with a close below the previous week's close. Such an increase in downside momentum after a narrow-range candle the week before suggests the market is more likely to move lower than rally above last week's high.
Indicator-based GBPNZD analysis shows the market trading below the 20-period moving average and the stochastic oscillator giving a sell signal. This supports our price action-based GBPNZD technical analysis. The next major support level is the weekly pivotal low at 2.0275, while the nearest key resistance level is last week's high at 2.0977.
Potential Lower Swing High
A decisive break below the weekly pivotal low would mean that the high of 2.0977 is a lower swing high. This would indicate that a move to 1.9881 could be likely. Alternatively, a strong rally above the 2.0977 level would open the way to 2.1230.

GBPNZD Technical Analysis, 4h
The 4-hour chart shows the market trading near a support level at 2.0665. If the level is decisively broken, GBPNZD technical analysis indicates the market trading down to 2.0565, and then perhaps down to the channel low at 2.0491.
