Overview:

NZD/USD is expected to trade in a higher range. It is underpinned by the Kiwi demand on NZD/JPY cross amid reduced risk aversion and weaker dollar sentiment, reduced concerns over China and hawkish Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy stance. But NZD/USD gains are tempered by the caution before Wednesday's Federal Reserve monetary policy decision and Kiwi sales on rebounding AUD/NZD cross. Daily chart is positive biased as bullish outside-day-range pattern was completed on Thursday, MACD is bullish , stochastics stays elevated at overbought zone, the five- and 15-day moving averages are advancing.

Trading recommendation:
