  • Strong New Zealand jobs data boosted the Kiwi earlier on the day, NZD/USD hit highs of 0.6968.
     
  • Also, NZ dairy prices have risen to their highest level this year in the global dairy auction overnight, providing further support to the Kiwi.
     
  • But the major failed to hold gains above 20-DMA, has slipped lower to currently trade at 0.6934 levels.
     
  • Bounce off major trendline support at 0.6850 and bullishly aligned technical indicators support upside.
     
  • Stochs are showing a bullish rollover from oversold levels and RSI has formed a bullish divergence.

Support levels: 0.6904 (5-DMA), 0.6850 (trendline), 0.6806 (April 27 low)

Resistance levels: 0.6963 (20-DMA), 0.70 (trendline), 0.7061 (100-DMA)

Call update: Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-NZD-USD-holds-above-5-DMA-bullish-RSI-divergence-raises-scope-for-further-gains-673767) has it TP1.

Recommendation: We still see scope for upside in the pair. Recommend booking partial profits at highs. Raise trailing stop to 0.69. Hold for further upside.
