FxWirePro: NZD/USD hits fresh 4-month lows at 0.7050, weak China Industrial Profits data weighs

  • NZD/USD is trading a narrow range below 0.71 handle, bias still bearish.
     
  • Kiwi faces dented from weak New Zealand trade balance which printed a surprise -$86 million decline, as opposed to the $270 million surplus that was expected.
     
  • The major hit fresh 4-month lows at 0.7050 following weak China Industrial Profits data.
     
  • Chinese industrial profits, increased by only 3.1% Y/Y, compared to the previous reading of 10.8%.
     
  • Bears firmly in control, recovery in the pair was rejected at session highs at 0.7095 on Thursday's trade.
     
  • Technical analysis is biased bearish. Next major bear target lies at 61.8% Fib at 0.7031. Break below will see further weakness.
     
  • Focus now on US GDP data. A big beat on expectations could see further weakness in the pair.
     
  • On the flipside, break above 200-DMA could negate bearish bias.

Support levels - 0.7031 (61.8% Fib), 0.70, 0.6954 (Dec 20 low)

Resistance levels - 0.7090 (5-DMA), 0.7108 (50% Fib), 0.7179 (200-DMA), 0.72
