FxWirePro: NZD/CHF struggles at 200-DMA, break above to test 'Triangle top' at 0.7070

  • Kiwi pares gains post CPI knee-jerk spike. NZD/CHF has settled back below the 0.70 handle after the initial CPI spike.
     
  • New Zealand CPI data was for Q3 and arrived at 0.5% q/q vs the expected 0.4%. This came in substantially higher than the RBNZ forecasts.
     
  • Consumer Price Index (YoY) rose to 1.9%, also beating expectations at 1.8%.
     
  • Technical indicators support upside, RSI and Stochs are biased north and Stochs MACD is showing a bullish crossover.
     
  • Price action has pierced into daily cloud and is holding support at 20-DMA at 0.6989. We see weakness on break below.
     
  • Upside is struggling at 200-DMA at 0.7026. Breakout there could propel the pair to test 0.7070 (converged cloud top and Triangle top).

Support levels - 0.6989 (20-DMA), 0.6977 (50-DMA), 0.6962 (5-DMA), 0.6949 (38.2% Fib retrace of 0.7324 to 0.6718 fall)

Resistance levels - 0.7026 (200-DMA), 0.7068 (cloud top), 0.7092 (61.8% Fib)
