NZDUSD advanced to a seven-week high of 0.6378 in the wake of a bolder-than-expected 50bps rate hike by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand early on Wednesday. The pair has been developing northwards within a bullish channel since the drop to 0.6083 on March 10th, having already climbed above its simple moving averages (SMAs). Encouragingly, the RSI and the MACD are sending clear positive signals at the moment, with the former trending up confidently above its 50 neutral mark and the latter gaining ground within the positive region.
The next hassle could be the channel’s upper boundary, which overlaps with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the latest downleg at 0.6392. A successful move higher could retest the 0.6465 constraining zone ahead of the 2023 top of 0.6536. Should the bulls push for new highs, the door would open for the long-term resistance trendline drawn from the 2021 high of 0.7463.
NZDUSD h1 price is in an uptrend. Today it is possible that the pair will move up to the 0.6370 resistance area once again. Recommended buy to current price 0.6320, SL: 0.6280, TP: 0.6370
