NZD/USD daily chart
On the daily chart, the NZD/USD pair has been on the bull run since October 13, after testing the low of 0.6911. The spot faces pressure near 0.7220, critical resistance zone.
A daily close above the psychological 0.7200 level would meet the next resistance level at 0.7220. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades in an oversold zone. Any uptick in the MACD could trigger more buying opportunities in the pair to reach the 0.7250 horizontal resistance level.
Next, the bulls would be moving in a fresh upside momentum to recapture the high of May 31 at 0.7285.
Alternatively, if the price breaks below the intraday low it could test the 0.7120 horizontal support level followed by the low of October 19 at 0.7079. The NZD/USD bears would next target the 0.7050 horizontal support level.
