In Thursday's session, the NZD/JPY pair rose by 0.45% to 90.95, continuing the sideways movement seen in the past few sessions.
The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 54, indicating that the pair is in neutral territory. However, the RSI is rising, suggesting that buying pressure is steady. In addition, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram is red confirming a bearish presence.
Regarding the overall outlook, the 20,100 and 200-day SMAs seem to be converging to the 92.00 area to perform a crossover which might define the short-term trajectory. In the meantime, the 20-day SMA continues serving as a solid support and bears continue to battle with it and seem to be struggling to conquer it.
