FxWirePro: NZD/JPY breaks 20-DMA resistance at 78.99, good to go long on dips

• NZD/JPY consolidating break above 20-DMA at 78.99, bias higher.
   
• RBNZ left rates unchanged at 1.75 percent, the Kiwi found support from the policy announcements, which forecasted rates rising in Q2 2019 vs Q3 previously.
   
• However, gains short lived, pair erases RBNZ decision-led gains, slips lower on RBNZ Assistant Governor McDermott’s currency jawboning.
   
• McDermott noted that it would be good if the NZD fell more. Also, the mixed China inflation data provided little support.
   
• Technical indicators for the pair have turned bullish. Stochs are biased higher and bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs adds to upside bias.
   
• We see scope for test of 200-DMA at 79.73 as long as pair holds 20-DMA support at 78.99.
   
• Retrace below 20-DMA will see resumption of downside. Test of 78.30 levels then likely.
