New Zealand’s economic growth swept past forecasts in the first quarter, thanks to a housing boom and strong retail spending, avoiding a second recession and raising expectations for tighter monetary policy.

For New Zealand, this week is weak with economic news, and we can single out the following: On Tuesday, the Westpac Consumer Sentiment Index awaits us. On the index, a level above 100.0 indicates optimism, below indicates pessimism.

Following the chart, we see the movement in the big channel on the four-hour time frame, and now we have the consolidation on the bottom line. And there’s a chance we’ll now see a pullback up closer to moving averages. Our maximum target on this time frame can be our MA200 in the zone around 78.50. Otherwise, if we see a break below 76.00, we will have a continuation of the pullback to the psychological level at 75.00.
