FxWirePro: AUD/NZD retraces from session highs at 1.0550, bias higher, good to go long on dips

  • AUD/NZD broke 20-DMA and hit 2-week highs at 1.0550 after Aussie was buoyed by stellar jobs data.
     
  • Australia's jobs data was upbeat across most major indicators, against expectations of a minor correction.
     
  • The economy added 52.1K in full time jobs, while the jobless rate dropped to 5.5%. Meanwhile, the participation rate improved to 64.9%.
     
  • The pair has retraced from session highs to currently trade at 1.0528 levels.
     
  • Technical indicators have turned bullish, RSI is biased higher, Stochs have rolled over from oversold levels and MACD is showing a bullish crossover.
     
  • We see scope for further upside, close above 20-DMA will confirm bullishness.
     
  • Major trendline support seen at 1.040 levels, we see weakness only on break below.

Support levels - 1.05, 1.0463 (5-DMA), 1.040 (trendline)

Resistance levels - 0.0550 (session high), 1.0602 (200-DMA), 1.0631 (38.2% Fib)
