FxWirePro: NZD/USD breaks below 5-DMA at 0.6867, intraday bias neutral

• NZD/USD down 0.22% on the day, extends downside for 2nd consecutive session.
   
• Selling pressure seen around the NZD gathered steam in Asia, Dismal Chinese industrial profits data and NZ Q3 retail sales report weigh.
   
• Modest recovery in USD after last week’s slump also adding to the weight on the spot.
   
• Technical studies are bearish, upside remains capped at 20-DMA at 0.6884.
   
• Heading into a new week, the focus remains on the Fedspeaks, RBNZ Financial Stability Report and US GDP numbers for further direction.
   
• Close below 5-DMA could see test of 61.8% Fib at 0.68 ahead of 0.6760 (trendline).
   
• On the flipside, breakout above 20-DMA could see further upside, test of 50-DMA at 0.7023 then likely.
