FxWirePro: NZD/USD consolidating break above 'Triple Top', weakness only on retrace below 0.7385

  • NZD/USD is seen consolidating upside after break above 'Triple Top' on Friday last week.
  • Modest pickup in the US Treasury bond yields helped the greenback stage a minor recovery and weighed on higher yielding currencies.
  • NZD/USD hit session lows of 0.7401, but has since pared losses to currently trade around 0.7440.
  • Technical studies support upside in the pair, we see scope for test of 0.7485 levels.
  • The next big event risk is the FOMC decision on Wednesday which will decide future price movement.
  • In today's economic docket, the release of flash PMI print and existing home sales data will be looked upon for further impetus.

Support levels - 0.74, 0.7385 (trendline) 0.7327 (20-DMA), 0.73, 0.7215 (50-DMA)

Resistance levels - 0.7485 (Sept 7 2016 high), 0.7506 (May 13 2015 high), 0.7610 (Mar 4 2015 high)
