FxWirePro: NZD/USD breaks triple top, good to long break above major resistance at 0.7431

  • NZD/USD witnessed sharp swings on Thursday's trade. The pair bounced from lows of 0.7333 to hit highs of 0.7414.
     
  • The Kiwi caught a fresh bid-wave on NZ FinMin Joyce’s comments, despite risk-off market profile.
     
  • NZ FM said that the 8.9% appreciation in the New Zealand dollar over the last months reflects the strong New Zealand economy.
     
  • The pair finally broke out of consolidation phase and went on to print fresh multi-month tops near 0.7428 region.
     
  • We see next major resistance for the pair at 0.7431 (weekly 200-DMA). Break above could see further upside.
     
  • On the flipside, we expect weakness to resume if the pair close below 20-DMA at 0.7309.
