FxWirePro: NZD/USD pauses shy of 78.6% Fib, break above to see further upside

  • NZD/USD has paused upside at 0.7375 levels, just shy of 78.6% Fibo.
     
  • The pair is seeing some weakness after weaker-than-expected China inflation readings.
     
  • The official data released earlier in the day showed China's CPI rose 2.1 percent in March vs 2.6 percent expected.
     
  • China's PPI cooled to 3.1 percent, missing the estimate of 3.2 percent and down from the previous month's print of 3.7 percent.
     
  • Bullish momentum is likely to see further upside in the pair. We see scope for test of 0.7391 (78.6% Fib) ahead of 0.7440 (major trendline).
     
  • On the flipside, retrace below 50-DMA could see resumption of weakness till 200-DMA at 0.7183.

Support levels - 0.7315 (5-DMA), 0.7281 (50-DMA), 0.7261 (61.8% Fib)

Resistance levels - 0.7391 (78.6% Fib), 0.7440 (major trendline)
