NZD/JPY capped below 50% Fib (Apr 28th to May 5th fall) at 74.97. Breaks major support at 73.80, is on track to test channel base support at 72.30.
Kiwi bears relentless amid risk-off sentiment persisting in the markets, both Asian equities and oil prices trading in the red.
Poor Westpac MNI Chinese consumer sentiment data further adds to the downward pressure on the bird.
Techs also support downside, Stochs have bounced off from near overbought levels, 5-DMA is on the verge of a bearish crossover on 10-DMA. Momentum is bearish, RSI is biased lower.
