NZD/USD managed to close marginally above 0.8300 despite another bearish attack on Thursday. Unfortunately, this does not change the gloomy bigger picture for the New Zealand currency, as it continues to move within a well-entrenched downside trend.

He Technically, NZD/USD has reached an important support level of 0.8280 (it served as a good floor for the pair back in February). Thus, kiwi bears need a sustained break below this level to continue the assault. Otherwise, consolidation may be on cards.
