FxWirePro: NZD/JPY recovery capped below 21-EMA, momentum with the bears

NZD/JPY chart on Trading View used for analysis

  • NZD/JPY pauses recovery shy of 21-EMA at 73.86, momentum with the bears.
     
  • Recovery attempts in the pair lack traction. Price has slipped from session highs at 73.66 and is currently trading at 73.24 levels.
     
  • The pair trades in a downward channel and finds strong resistance at 55-EMA at 74.66. We see bearish invalidation only on break above.
     
  • Kiwi remains weak in response to poor NZ data and growing conviction among markets that the next RBNZ policy move will be a cut - rather than a hike.
     
  • Technicals support further weakness. Stochs and RSI are sharply lower and MACD is on verge of bearish crossover on signal line.
     
  • We see scope for test of channel base at 71.75. Violation there could see major downside. Bearish invalidation only above 55-EMA.

Support levels - 73.29 (5-DMA), 73, 72.35 (Aug 13 low), 71.75 (channel base), 71

Resistance levels - 73.87 (21-EMA), 74.66 (55-EMA), 75
