  • NZD/USD is currently holding 20-DMA support at 0.7264, we see downside on break below.
     
  • Upside trend has stalled near 78.6% Fib retrace of 0.7485 to 0.6817 fall at 0.7342.
     
  • Bias on daily charts has turned bearish with turn in 5-DMA and bearish MACD crossover.
     
  • Recovery attempts in the pair capped below 0.73 handle and 5-DMA at 0.7284 is immediate resistance on the upside.
     
  • Bearish divergence from price action seen on RSI and Stochs also adds to downside bias.
     
  • Close below 20-DMA at 0.7264 likely to see further downside, test of 61.8% Fib at 0.7230 then likely.
     
  • Focus on US macro news, including the key NFP data, which will provide fresh cues on the USD dynamics.
