• NZD/USD grinds higher around intraday, keeps the previous day’s recovery moves.
• Firmer RSI, successful bounce off short-term horizontal area and 50-SMA keep buyers hopeful.
• 13-day-old descending trend line, 100-SMA will challenge recovery moves.

NZD/USD extends the week-start gains towards 0.6650, up 0.15% intraday near 0.6640 during Tuesday’s Asian session.

The Kiwi pair recently paid a little heed to the comments from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) Governor Adrian Orr to stay beyond a week-long horizontal support zone, not to forget the 50-SMA, amid a firmer RSI line.

It’s worth noting, however, that the NZD/USD bulls need validation from a fortnight-old descending resistance line near 0.6665, as well as the 100-SMA level of 0.6675, to extend the latest rebound.

On the contrary, pullback moves remain elusive until the quote stays beyond the stated horizontal support region near 0.6590-95.

That said, the 50-SMA level of 0.6610 will test the NZD/USD pair’s immediate downside.

In a case where the pair drops below 0.6590, January’s low of 0.6529 and the 0.6500 threshold will be on the bear’s radar.
