The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) sells off across the board on Wednesday and dives more than 1.3% against the US Dollar (USD) following the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) monetary policy decision.
UOB’s Quek Ser Leang highlights that USD/CHF extended gains to 0.8294 despite overbought conditions, with intraday scope for further upside though a move to the major 0.8320 resistance is seen unlikely. On a 1–3 week horizon, he now expects the pair to test 0.8320 after a close at 0.8290, but judges the odds of a sustained break above this level as low while strong support has shifted to 0.8250.
UOB’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann observe USD/JPY broke above the prior 157.80 strong resistance, reaching 157.97, with negative divergence signalling slowing upside momentum and no imminent pullback. Intraday, they expect consolidation between 157.55 and 158.05.
