- NZD/JPY is extending weakness after break below daily cloud, scope for further weakness.
- The pair has opened with a bullish gap, but unabated yen buying keeps pressure on the downside.
- Yen demand seen across the board despite dovish comments from Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda.
- Kuroda was out on wires earlier, stressing the need for continued powerful easing.
- NZD/JPY hit session lows of 77.77 and has since pared some losses to currently hover around 78 handle.
- Technical studies are biased lower. We see scope for test of 78.6% Fib at 77.77. Violation there could see further weakness.
Support levels - 77.64 (Feb 14, 23 low), 77.35 (Oct 31 low), 77.26 (78.6% Fib), 76.30 (channel base)
Resistance levels - 78.40 (5-DMA), 78.70 (cloud base), 79.06 (20-DMA)
