  • Risk-off in the early Asia as the Japanese land sale scandal comes back into focus keeping the antipodeans subdued.
     
  • NZD/USD struggles to extend gains above 0.73 handle, breakout to see further upside.
     
  • With little major data to drive, the kiwi largely remains at the mercy of market sentiment as the main driver.
     
  • Technical bias remains bullish. RSI is above 50 and Stochs are biased higher. 
     
  • The pair failed to extend weakness below 200-DMA and now finds strong resistance at 50-DMA at 0.7293.
     
  • Break above 50-DMA could see test of 0.7435 (major trendline resistance). Break below 20-DMA could see minor weakness.

Support levels - 0.7258 (20-DMA), 0.7252 (5-DMA), 0.72, 0.7184 (200-DMA)

Resistance levels - 0.7281 (23.6% Fib), 0.7293 (50-DMA), 0.7354 (Mar 13, 14 high)

Recommendation: Good to go long on breakout above 0.73 handle, SL 0.7225, TP: 0.7354/ 0.74/ 0.7435
