NZD/JPY daily chart
Switching to the hourly chart, a somewhat comparable trend is noticeable. The RSI took a big hit during the American session and seems to be slowly recovering. The hourly MACD, however, presents red bars, hinting at possible short-term negative momentum. This suggests that some caution is needed for intra-day traders.
NZD/JPY hourly chart
On the broader outlook, the NZD/JPY maintains its position above the 20, 100, and 200-day SMAs, indicating sustained long-term buying pressure. Therefore, both the short-term and long-term technical outlook for the pair seems to point towards a bullish trend. In summary, while the hourly MACD reveals minor negativity which may produce some temporary pullbacks, the overall bias for cross on both the daily and longer-term charts is bullish
