Wednesday's trading session witnessed sustained buying pressure in NZD/JPY, leading to a 0.45% increase to 91.65. The pair extended its upward momentum from previous sessions, indicating a growing bullish sentiment.

Technical indicators reinforce the positive outlook for NZD/JPY. The RSI, which measures the strength of buying pressure, has risen to 60 and the upward sloping movement suggests that buying pressure is increasing. 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.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
