- NZD/JPY has broken below 200-DMA at 77.39, but downside is holding major trendline support at 77 levels.
- Kiwi slightly bid on higher oil prices and Moody’s upbeat remarks on New Zealand’s AAA.
- Slightly weaker GDT price index, deterioration in risk environment amid renewed weakness seen in the Asian equities to keep the Kiwi depressed.
- Fall in the NZ business morale in Q1 2017 also collaborating to the downbeat tone around the Kiwi.
- Recovery in the pair looks fragile, upside remains capped by 200-DMA at 77.39. Bearish invalidation only on close above.
- Break below 77 (trendline support) to see drag upto 76.52 (50% Fib) and then 75.77 (Nov 14 low).
Support levels - 77 (trendline), 76.52 (50% Fib retrace of 69.23 to 83.80 rise), 75.77 (Nov 14 low)
Resistance levels - 77.39 (200-DMA), 77.71 (5-DMA), 78.24 (38.2% Fib)
