FxWirePro: NZD/JPY holds 200-DMA support at 80.07, further weakness on break below

• NZD/JPY consolidates previous session's slump, trades narrow range on the day.
   
• The pair has paused downside at 200-DMA at 80.06 which is strong support.
   
• We see weakness accentuate on break below 200-DMA. Scope then for test of 78.70 (rising trendline).
   
• Technical indicators are bearish, Stochs biased lower, RSI below 50 and MACD is showing a bearish crossover.
   
• The pair is trading a 'Rising Wedge' pattern and close below 200-DMA raises scope for test of Wedge base at 78.70.
   
• On the flipside, we see bearish invalidation on close above 5-DMA.

Support levels - 80.06 (200-DMA), 79.53 (23.6% Fib), 79, 78.70 (Wedge base)

Resistance levels - 80.33 (50-DMA), 80.61 (5-DMA), 80.89 (20-DMA), 81.09 (cloud top)
