FxWirePro: NZD/USD break above 20-DMA, close above raises scope for upside
Tuesday, September 20, 2016 7:21 AM UTC
- NZD/USD benefitting from weaker sentiment surrounding the greenback on diminishing hopes of a Fed rate hike action on Wednesday
- The pair has broken above 20-DMA at 0.7305, we see scope for further gains.
- Major trendline support at 0.7260, weakness only on break below.
- Markets have priced in OCR on hold at 2.0% at Thursday’s RBNZ meet, with a signal of a rate cut in November.
- Any watering down of this explicit easing signal could likely cause a sharp rise in the NZD.
- Techs do not provide a clear directional bias, but some upside seen on intraday charts. Close above 20-DMA could see bullishness.
- Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-NZD-USD-closes-bearish-gap-but-struggles-at-20-DMA-intraday-bias-higher-306148) is progressing.
- We recommend holding for targets.
