  • NZD/USD hovers around 200-DMA support in early Asia, we see weakness only on break below.
     
  • Strong economic data in the U.S. ISM Services that was the strongest headline number since 2005 to keep the USD supported.
     
  • ADP report also showed that the U.S. private sector added more jobs than expected in September.
     
  • That said, US dollar still shows some weakness amid uncertainties about the next Fed’s Chair.
     
  • Today focus shall be on U.S. ISM non-manufacturing PMI, followed by Yellen's speech later during the NY trading session.
     
  • Breach of 200-DMA support at 0.7155 will take the pair to 0.71 and then 0.7050 levels.
     
  • On the upside, 5-DMA is immediate resistance, break above could see minor upside. Bearish invalidation only above 20-DMA at 0.7245.
