What to Watch: GBP/NZD

This pair has been moving sideways inside a range visible on its short-term time frames. Price has found support around 1.8630 and looks ready to test resistance near the 1.9100 mark.
Risk assets like commodity currencies could be on stronger footing over the next trading sessions, as President-elect Biden just called for a $1.9 trillion aid plan that involves $1,400 in stimulus checks.
Meanwhile, the U.K. is scheduled to print its November GDP reading and might show a whopping 4.6% contraction in economic activity for the month.Weaker than expected results might lead to a dip back to the range bottom while strong figures could see a short-lived rally. After all, the U.K. went into tighter lockdown mode in late 2020 as the new strain of the COVID-19 virus emerged.

It’s not exactly the most exciting day of the week for this pair, but it could still move by a decent 80 pips based on the average GBP/NZD volatility.
