NZD/USD is expected to trade in a higher range. The pair is trading above its rising 20-period and 50-period moving averages, which play support roles and maintain the upside bias. The relative strength index is above its neutrality level at 50 and lacks downward momentum. Additionally, 0.7175 is playing a key support role, which should limit the downside potential. As long as this key level is not broken, look for a further upside toward 0.7220 and even 0.7235 in extension.

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. Therefore, long positions are recommended with the first target at 0.7220 and the second one at 0.7235. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.7145, if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 0.7125. The pivot point is at 0.7175.

Resistance levels: 0.7220, 0.7235, and 0.7260

Support levels: 0.7145, 0.7125, and 0.7070
