EUR/NZD Is Forming Falling Wedge Pattern Ahead Of RBNZ Meeting. But Will We See Trend Reversal?

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is meeting tonight and will unveil its stance on the monetary policy. It’s widely expected to keep the main interest rate unchanged at 1.75% as in Sempember the Acting Governor shared his opinion that “numerous uncertainties remain, and policy may need to adjust accordingly.” 
In this line the New Zealand Dollar could not be particularly affected, having is mind that during the past two weeks is much stronger comparing to its main rivals.
The technical picture is more interesting for the EUR/NZD than the current fundaments. On the four hour time frame we have a Falling Wedge pattern. The Fibonnaci retracement of late October bullish run provides strong support at 61.8% (1.6660) and the price for now is stready above it. Meanwhile on the same chart we have bearish 20-day SMA and the 100-day and 200-day SMAs are keeping upward momentum. Indicators are located sightly below their mid-lines with RSI turning to north and stochastic is losing directional strength. That said in the showrt term there is a risk of crossing to below the above mentioned level of 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and this will lead to a continuation to the downside. But this will be against the Falling Wedge pattern. Currently the price is stuck between the 50% and 61.8% levels of same Fibo and in case of conquering the resistance at 50% (1.6770), doors are opened for testingt the 1.6800 handle.
