The NZD/JPY will close a 0.30% losing week around the 89.245 area, as investors are taking profits from the early month's sharp gains.

Observing the daily chart, the NZD/JPY displays signs of bullish exhaustion after the cross gained more than 3% at the beginning of November. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has turned flat above its midline, while the Moving Average Convergence (MACD) prints neutral green bars. On the four-hour chart, the indicators have also flattened but are also slightly lilted to the upside, suggesting that buyers are consolidating gains.

Additionally, the cross is above the 20,100,200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), suggesting that the outlook also favours the bulls in the larger time frames. Furthermore, there could be a bullish confirmation as the 100-day SMA is converging towards the 20-day average to perform a bullish cross, which could reignite the momentum for the buyers in the short term.

Support levels: 89.000, 88.700, 88.500.

Resistance levels: 89.5000, 89.850,90.000.

The market gets a CPI core reprieve, but Oil still holds the match

The market just got a temporary get-out-of-jail-free card, not a full pardon, but enough to keep the Fed’s hand off the rate hike lever as the tape exhales, at least for now. Headline CPI landed exactly where feared, with prices rising 0.5% MoM and 4.2% YoY, the hottest annual inflation print in more than three years and a clear acceleration from 3.8% in April.

The US economy defies the rules: 100 days into the Oil shock and the recession signal is still missing
