FxWirePro: AUD/NZD finds strong support at 1.1072, good to go short on break below

  • AUD/NZD capped below major trendline resistance at 1.1145, hammer formation seen on daily charts.
     
  • The pair has broken below 20-SMA on the hourly charts and downside now finds major support at 1.1072 (converged trendline and 1H 200-SMA).
     
  • Break below will see extension of weakness. Scope then for test of 1.0975 (20-DMA).
     
  • Kiwi was depressed after downward revision of the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) inflation forecasts.
     
  • NZIER revised its 2017/18 inflation forecasts to 1.1% (previous 1.5%), while growth forecast was revised to 2.9% (previous 3.1%).
     
  • The inflation is seen rising 1.9% in 2018/19 as opposed to the previous forecast of 2%, while the growth forecast has been revised higher to 3.4% from 3.1%.
     
  • We see upside only on break above major trendline resistance at 1.1145. Next major resistance above 1.1155 lies at 1.1173 (78.6% Fib retrace of 1.1429 to 1.0237 fall).
