FxWirePro: 20-DMA caps upside in NZD/USD, good to go long on break above

• NZD/USD halted its two consecutive days of gains and turned back into negative territory.
   
• Broad-based weakness seen in the greenback amid risk-off due to tensions in the Korean peninsula and over US bombing Afghanistan.
   
• Focus remains on US datasets, including the retail sales and CPI, due later in the NA session for further impetus.
   
• Technically, the pair has shown a decisive breakout above major trendline resistance at 0.6960.
   
• Upside is struggling to get past the 20-DMA resistance currently at 0.7001.
   
• Stochs are biased higher, while RSI remains neutral and below 50-levels.
   
• We see further gains on breakout above 20-DMA, scope then for test of 0.7075 (38.2% Fib retrace of 0.7375 to 0.6890 fall).

Support levels - 0.6975 (5-DMA), 0.6960 (trendline), 0.6920 (April 10 lows)

Resistance levels - 0.7001 (20-DMA & 23.6% Fib), 0.7069 (Upper Bollinger Band), 0.7075 38.2% Fib)

4H          Slightly bearish   Neutral
