Technical indicators reinforce the positive outlook for NZD/JPY.

The MACD, which measures the relationship between the pair's short-term and long-term moving averages, also supports the bullish sentiment. The histogram is green and flat, indicating that buying pressure is dominant.

Key support and resistance levels remain relevant, with support at 91.50,91.30 and 91.00 and resistances are seen at 92.00 (100 and 200-day SMA convergence), 92.30 and 92.50. These levels are likely to influence the pair's price action in the near term. The 20-day SMA, a crucial support level, has successfully held off selling pressure, contributing to the pair's bullish bias.
