FxWirePro: NZD/JPY breaks above 55-EMA at 76.21, eyes major trendline resistance at 77.10

• Kiwi buoyed after RBNZ’s preferred measure of core inflation hit a 7-year high.
   
• Data released earlier today showed NZ Q2 CPI data that arrived at 0.4% and slightly lower than the 0.5% expected.
   
• RBNZ’s preferred measure of core inflation for the second quarter printed at a 7-year high of 1.7% year-on-year.
   
• NZD/JPY has spiked past 55-EMA at 76.21, trades 0.95% higher on the day.
   
• Price is testing 110-EMA at 76.86, break above will see further upside. Scope then for test of major trendline resistance at 77.10.
   
• On the flipside, break below 55-EMA could negate bullish bias.

Support levels - 76.21 (55-EMA), 76.16 (5-DMA), 75.83 (21-EMA), 75.54 (Mar 23 low)

Resistance levels - 76.86 (110-EMA), 77.20 (Trendline), 77.87 (June 13 high)
