The strong resistance of the 100-hour SMA and the weekly PP sent NZD/USD for a breakout of the medium-term ascending channel mid-Monday.
The Kiwi formed a brief rebound from its bottom boundary and subsequently fell 44 pips within a couple of hours. A slight recovery followed, as strongly bearish technical indicators put a downward pressure on the rate.
This upward movement is likely to persist for until the end of this session when the rate should test the upper boundary of the short-term descending channel circa 0.6890.
The Kiwi is expected to reverse again somewhere near this area, as the strong support of the 55-, 200– and 100-hour SMAs should reduce the ability of bulls to push the rate even higher.
