On Tuesday's session, the NZD/JPY pair was spotted at around 89.70, showing a modest uptick of 0.25%. In addition, rebounding from a 1.70% decline since Thursday, bears are momentarily stepping back, allowing the bulls to gain ground.

Indicators on the daily chart reflect a stage of bullish domination. The ascending trajectory in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) emphasises the prevailing strength of the buyers, which is further corroborated by the pair's position above its Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of 20, 100, and 200 days. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a series of decreasing green bars, a possible warning of a waning momentum on the part of the buyers. Yet, while the bears seem to be catching their breath after propelling down the pair by more than 1.70% since Thursday, the dominant buying pressure persists in the broader context.

Regarding shorter-term momentum, indicators on the 4-hour chart add consistency to the buyers stepping in. The four-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) maintains a positive inclination while Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) exhibits decreasing red bars, reflecting a slight upside bias, and the overall momentum seems more tilted in favour of the buyers.

Support Levels: 89.37, 89.00,88.70.
Resistance Levels: 90.00, 90.35, 91.00.
