From a broader perspective, the NZD/JPY demonstrates a robust performance by situating above its key Simple Moving Averages (SMA), a technical indicator that averages the currency pair's closing prices over specific periods. Its stance above the 20, 100, and 200-day SMA suggests a consistent uptrend, representing both short-term and long-term strength. In the last sessions, the buyers defended the 20-day SMA at 91.10.
