FxWirePro: EUR/NZD capped below 5-DMA, bias bearish, stay short

• EUR/NZD trades a narrow range, capped below 5-DMA at 1.6112.
   
• The common currency under pressure in light of last week’s ECB minutes. Markets also remain wary ahead of the Jackson Hole Symposium.
   
• ECB minutes showed that members were worried over the exchange rate appreciation and felt that accommodation was needed in either direction.
   
• Technical studies are bearish, we see scope for downside on the pair.
   
• Stochs have rolled over from overbought levels and MACD is on verge of a bearish crossover.
   
• 20-DMA at 1.5949 is immediate support. Breach there could see test of trendline at 1.5780.
   
• Bearish invalidation only on breakout above major trendline resistance at 1.6240.

Support levels - 1.60 (Aug 17 low), 1.5949 (20-DMA), 1.5842 (23.6% Fib retracement of 1.4534 to 1.6246 rally)

Resistance levels - 1.61, 1.6111 (5-DMA), 1.62, 1.6240 (trendline)
