FxWirePro: GBP/NZD rejected at 200-DMA, bias lower, stay short

• GBP/NZD trades a narrow range, upside rejected around 200-DMA at 1.7706.
   
• The pair was extending previous session's gains, but recovery lacks traction.
   
• Major resistance seen at 0.770 (converged 5 & 200 DMA), further upside only on break above.
   
• Ichi cloud weighs on the upside on weekly charts, momentum studies biased lower.
   
• Selling pressure around the Pound has exacerbated following election results, we see scope for test of major trendline support at 1.7140.
   
• On the daily charts, the pair has failed to hold break above 200-DMA on Monday's trade.
   
• Upside remains capped below 5-DMA at 1.7747, we see bearish invalidation only on close above.

Support levels - 1.7433 (Mar 15, 16 low), 1.7187 (78.6% Fib of 1.6705 to 1.8959 rise), 1.7140 (Trendline & Mar 1 low)
