The NZD/JPY pair, after posting a 0.20% drop on Wednesday, continues to consolidate above the 90.00 mark. The bulls are holding on to their control of the market, with the technical indicators indicating a still-bullish outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 60, suggesting that buying pressure persists. On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a momentum indicator, is showing flat green bars, which points to a flattening of buying pressure. Overall, the NZD/JPY outlook remains positive, with the bulls looking towards a potential breakout above the 91.00 mark.

Since mid-September, the cross tallied a seven-day winning streak which improved the short-term outlook as it positioned the pair above the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). With the buying pressure weakening the pair could find support at 90.00, 89.30, and 89.00 as well as resistance levels at 90.50, 90.80, and 91.00.
