The NZD/JPY currency pair is trading near the 91.541 level, experiencing what appears to be a robust uptrend. Indicators on the daily chart remain strong while hourly indicators stand somewhat mixed. On the negative side, for bears to start talking, they must breach the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 91.00 which is acting as a strong support in favor of the bulls.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows positive momentum for the NZD/JPY pair, settling at about 56. The recent history of the RSI in positive territory highlights the dominance of buyers, occasionally counterbalanced with dips flirting with the negative domain. Concurrently, the MACD histogram displays green bars, further indicating positive momentum in the market.

Moving to the hourly chart, the RSI fluctuates around the neutral mark of 50, with the latest reading jumping back to 57 after a slight decline earlier in the session. The MACD histogram continues to print flat green bars, indicating a flattening buying momentum.

NZD/JPY hourly chart

Taking into account this technical landscape, the NZD/JPY shows a bullish inclination in a broader outlook. It stands notably above the 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), indicating a consistent uptrend. As long as the pair holds above the key 20-day average, the bullish trend will remain intact. However, the mixed outlook on the hourly chart advises that the buyers may give up ahead of the Asian session which could pave the way for a retest of the mentioned average.
