FxWirePro: AUD/NZD breaks 61.8% Fib, hits fresh 5-month highs at 1.1017

  • AUD/NZD continues bull-run, breaks 61.8% Fib to hit fresh 5-month highs at 1.1017.
  • RBNZ’s Wheeler jawboned the NZD, said a weaker NZD is needed to increase tradable inflation and help deliver more balanced growth.
  • On the other side, the Aussie remains bid after the data released in Australia showed a big improvement in the construction activity.
  • The second quarter construction work has jumped 9.3%, beating the forecast of 1.0%.
  • Meanwhile, the building approvals dropped 1.7% m/m and 13.9% y/y in July. However, the fall was less steep than expected.
  • Technical indicators are at overbought levels, but do not show signs of reversal.
  • On monthly charts, the pair has formed a symmetric triangle pattern and price action is just shy of triangle top at 1.1050.
  • The pair has broken above monthly 50-SMA at 1.0700 and break above triangle top could reinforce upside.

Support levels - 1.0968 (5-DMA), 1.0973 (61.8% Fib of 1.4129 to 1.0237 fall), 1.0912 (23.6% Fib retrace of 1.37951 to 1.00204 fall), 1.0842 (20-DMA)

Resistance levels - 1.1016 (session high), 1.1018 (Mar 16 high), 1.1086 (Nov 2015 high)
