FxWirePro: NZD/USD rejected at session highs at 0.6912, good to go short on break below 0.6895

  • NZD/USD attempted, but failed, to hold break above the 0.69 handle.
     
  • Price action has slipped below hourly 200-SMA at 0.6914 and is currently hovering around 0.69 handle after hitting session lows at 0.6897.
     
  • The pair has slipped below 5-DMA and now finds strong support at 0.6895 (trendline). Break below will see further weakness.
     
  • Focus now on RBNZ, we expect the central bank to still be somewhat cautious.
     
  • This could perhaps disappoint a market that is arguably looking for a slightly more hawkish tone.
     
  • Technical studies on hourly charts are bearish, break below 0.6895 could see test of 0.6818 (double bottom).

Support levels -0.6895 (trendline), 0.6818 (double bottom), 0.68

Resistance levels - 0.6914 (1H 200-SMA), 0.6968 (May 3rd high), 0.6970 (20-DMA), 0.7038 (38.2% Fib of 0.61968 to 0.7558 rally)

Recommendation: Good to go short on break below 0.6895, SL: 0.6920, TP: 0.6820/ 0.68
