NZDUSD At 11-Week Highs
NZDUSD retreat today after yesterday’s sharp gains as the rally in risky currencies continues amid the global recovery from the coronavirus crisis. The pair today stalled at the 200-day moving average (0.6312) as greenback gains some strength after the recent pressure as the risk appetite returns to markets. The technical outlook for NZDUSD is positive for the pair, but bulls need a convincing break above the 200-day moving average to initiate another leg higher.
On the upside, the first resistance for NZDUSD stands at 0.6307 the daily top. A break above would meet the next resistance at 0.6339 the high from May 11. The next obstacle for bulls stands at 0.6361 the March 10 high.
On the other side, immediate support stands at 0.6272 the daily low. If the selling pressure continues, the next support for NZDUSD will be met at 0.6190 the 100-day moving average. The next support area will be reached at 0.6154 the low from May 27.
