FxWirePro: Antipodeans dented on poor China trade data, AUD/NZD capped below 5-DMA, bias lower

• Dismal China trade data dents antipodeans, AUD/NZD trades in narrow range.
   
• Data released earlier today showed China October trade surplus widened less than expected.
   
• China trade surplus came-in at CNY 254.5 billion vs. CNY 275.0 billion (in USD terms $38.2B below forecasts at $39.5B).
   
• Exports printed at 6.1% y/y vs 7.0% expected and 9.0% last, while imports came-in at +15.9% y/y vs 17.5% expected and 19.5% last.
   
• The pair remains capped below 5-DMA at 1.1091, intraday bias bearish.
   
• RSI and stochs biased lower, MACD shows bearish crossover on signal line.
   
• Bearish divergence on RSI and Stochs keeps scope for downside, test of 50-DMA at 1.1032 on cards. Break below 50-DMA could see further weakness.
   
• Focus now on RBNZ, we expect the central bank to still be somewhat cautious.

Support levels - 1.1072 (23.6% Fib retracement of 1.0370 to 1.1290 rally), 1.1032 (50-DMA), 1.0938 (38.2% Fib)

Resistance levels - 1.1091 (5-DMA), 1.1108 (20-DMA), 1.12, 1.1290 (Oct 24 high)
