On Feb. 12, 2021, EUR/NZD was showing bearish market patterns which signaled to traders that there was a high probability the pair could make a move lower. The pair has been trending and moving lower since the March 2020 peak high, and we always advise to trade with the trend, not against it.

The charts below clearly illustrate the various bearish market patterns that signaled to traders to get in the market as EUR/NZD would continue on its bearish trend lower.
