The NZD/JPY failed to hold its momentum, which took the cross to a multi-week high of around 89.865 and then closed at around 89.200.
The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a shift towards a neutral to a bearish outlook for NZD/USD, with indicators flashing signs of bullish exhaustion. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) maintains a flat slope above 50, while the Moving Average Convergence (MACD) presents lower green bars. On the four-hour chart, the bearish momentum is more evident, with the RSI and MACD plunging into the negative zone.
That said, the pair is above the 20,100,200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), indicating a favourable position for the bulls in the bigger picture. In addition, the 100-day SMA seems to be converging towards the 20-day average to perform a bullish cross in the 88.150-88.300 area, which could reignite the momentum for the buyers in the short term.
Support levels: 89.000, 88.700,88.500.
Resistance levels: 89.500, 89.850, 90.000.
