NZD/USD Technical Analysis: Kiwi bulls faced with 0.7050 barrier, trapped in wedge formation

Kiwi bulls made two attempts to trade above the 0.7050 key figure but were not able to close above it suggesting NZD/USD might have a short-term pullback.
Additionally, NZD/USD has formed a potentially bearish wedge formation suggesting that the market is likely to correct to the downside in the near-future.
RSI, stochastics and MACD indicators have not confirmed the new high made this Wednesday.
