NZD/JPY Potential Downtrend

Short
FX:NZDJPY   New Zealand Dollar / Japanese Yen
NZD/JPY formed the top near the 74.00 psychological resistance while moving just a few pips above that level. Since December 11th, the MACD oscillator started to form a bullish divergence. It can be seen that in the medium and short term, there is a double bearish divergence, which implies the potential trend reversal or a corrective move down.

After price broke the uptrend trendline, it has nearly tested the 73.00 psychological support and corrected up. Right now, NZD/JPY has approached and so far rejected the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 73.92. If the correction down will take place, this resistance area is likely to be respected, stopping the price from producing a new higher high.

Therefore, as long as NZD/JPY remains below 74.02, there is a good probability that the downside move is emerging. It might take the price down to the 72.46 level, resulting in a 130 pips decline. This support level is based on the 61.8% Fibs and corresponds with the average-price uptrend trendline as well as the 200 Simple and Exponential Moving Average.

If/when the price will start the decline and manages to break below the 72.46 support, it might confirm a downtrend rather than just a correction down. In this case, the NZD/JPY price can drop down to either 71.50 or 70.50 support level, based on the previous supply/demand areas.

On the upside, a break above the recently printed high at 74.02 is likely to invalidate the bearish outlook and the NZD/JPY uptrend can be expected to continue. Nonetheless, the risk/reward ratio currently presented still remains very attractive.

Key support levels: 73.05, 72.46
Key resistance levels: 73.92, 74.02
