NZD/USD resumed sliding after a weak upside correction

FXStreet (Moscow) - NZD/USD is correcting lower from the Asian highs of 0.8582 within a well-established short-term downside trend

Kiwi bulls are crying over spilled milk

NZD/USD is out of luck as as the pair has been falling for the third day in a row. Investors and speculators are worried about the downside pressure on the dairy prices - the key export commodity of New Zealand. Sure enough that this negative trend - if it proves to be sustainable - might hurt the New Zealand economy, but we believe that kiwi traders just used it as a pretext to cover long positions and take profit on a highly overbought market. The closest important support for NZD/USD is seen at 0.8520 followed by 0.8500. This area is likely to limit the intraday downside. The upside correction (if any) might be capped by Asian high at 0.8580
