NZD/USD Price Analysis: Pierces 100-HMA, two-week-old falling trendline

NZD/USD remains positive above short-term key resistances (now supports).
200-HMA on the bulls’ radars, multiple support to question the bears’ re-entry.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Having breached 100-HMA and two-week-old falling trend line, NZD/USD takes the bids to 0.5780, up 1.10%, during the initial trading hours on Tuesday.

The kiwi pair currently extends the recovery moves towards a 200-HMA level of 0.5916. However, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of its declines between March 09 and 19, around 0.5840 could offer the immediate resistance.

During the quote’s further upside past-0.5916, 0.6000 and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement near 0.6075 could lure the bulls.

Alternatively, the resistance-turned-support trend line and 100-HMA, respectively near 0.5765 and 0.5735, can act as the nearby rests should the buyers fail to dominate.

Also limiting the pair’s near-term declines will be a 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.5700 and a three-day-old support line around 0.5650.
