- NZD/USD has been trading a rising wedge pattern, currently at around 0.6690 levels.
- We see upside in the pair being capped by daily cloud which currently spans between 0.6737 and 0.6656.
- Price action in the pair was rejected by cloud top and has edged below 200-DMA at 0.6713.
- Momentum as indicated by the MACD is definitely with the bulls, but a bearish Stochs crossover at overbought and downward pointing RSI imply some immediate downside.
- Breaks below 5-DMA (0.6626) could take the pair to 0.6428 and then 0.6390 (rising trendline) support.
- On the upside breaks above cloud top could take the pair to 0.6880 and then 0.69.
- Data earlier this week showed GTD price index fell further this month. The economic knock-on to the dairy sector and broader economy will keep pressure on RBNZ to support the economy.
- Market focus is likely to remain on the US NFP data due later today, we expect the most likely scenario to be another leg lower for the greenback.
