Refer NZD/USD chart on Trading View

  • NZD/USD is extending grind higher along 5-DMA, intraday bias higher.
     
  • US dollar weakness across the board is supporting upside in the pair.
     
  • Markets perceiving the possibility of the Fed slowing down the pace of policy tightening in response to criticism from the White House weighing on the dollar.
     
  • The 10-year treasury yield fell more than five basis points to 2.82 percent yesterday, sending the USD lower across the board.  
     
  • Technical indicators on intraday charts are turning slightly bullish. Stochs have rolled over from oversold levels and RSI is biased higher.
     
  • Immediate resistance lies at 21-EMA at 0.6682. Further upside only on break above.
     
  • Bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs keeps scope for upside. Break above 21-EMA could see test of 23.6% Fib at 0.6755.
