FxWirePro: NZD/USD finds stiff resistance at 0.66 handle, bullish divergence keeps scope for upside

NZD/USD chart - Trading View 

  • NZD/USD trades 0.27% lower at 0.6579 at 0535 GMT, bias lower.
     
  • The pair has paused recovery, finds stiff resistance at 0.66 (major trendline resistance).
     
  • We see bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs on daily charts that keeps scope for upside.
     
  • However, risk aversion is likely dragging the Kiwi lower as Sino-US trade war shows little signs of de-escalation.
     
  • Also, New Zealand food inflation dropped in April. NZ food inflation increased an annual 1% in April. Month-on-month, however, food prices fell 0.1%, following a 0.5% rise in March.
     
  • Major trend in the pair is bearish. Next major bear target lies at 0.6541 (converged Lower BB and 78.6% Fib).
     
  • On the flipside, break above 0.66 could see test of 21-EMA at 0.6645. Break above 21-EMA targets 200-DMA at 0.6718.

Support levels - 0.6541 (converged Lower BB and 78.6% Fib), 0.65, 0.6486 (88.6% Fib)
