FxWirePro: NZD/USD fails at 200-DMA support, focus on U.S. jobs data for further impetus

• NZD/USD bounces off 200-DMA support to retake 0.72 handle in early Asia.
   
• Uptick was supported by broad based US dollar weakness amid looming uncertainty over the next Fed Chairperson.
   
• The pair failed to hold gains at 0.72 handle, slips lower to currently hover around 0.7175 levels.
   
• Weaker oil prices and downbeat NZ ANZ job ads data along with steep drop in the dairy prices at GDT auction likely to keep the kiwi under pressure.
   
• Focus now on US ADP jobs report and ISM services PMI data for further impetus. Fedspeaks will also be watched for fresh insights on the US interest rates outlook.
   
• 200-DMA at 0.7154 is major support, while 5-DMA at 0.7193 is immediate resistance.
   
• Close above 5-DMA could see test of 20-DMA at 0.7250, while break below 200-DMA raises scope for test of 0.71 levels.

Support levels - 0.7154 (200-DMA), 0.71 (61.8% Fib retracement of 0.68176 to 0.75580 rally), 0.7057 (June 1 low)

Resistance levels - 0.7193 (5-DMA), 0.7250 (20-DMA), 0.7275 (38.2% Fib)

Recommendation: Watch for clear directional bias.
