From a broader perspective, NZD/JPY remains bullish despite the downside as it remains above its Simple Moving Averages (SMA) of 20,100, and 200-day periods. However, if the bears manage to gather additional momentum they might reclaim the 20-day SMA which may worsen the outlook for the pair in case of being lost.
