Overview:

NZD/USD is expected to consolidate as markets await U.S. non-farm payrolls report. NZD/USD is supported by the Kiwi demand on soft AUD/NZD cross, Kiwi demand on NZD/JPY cross amid positive investor risk appetite, hawkish Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy stance and NZD-USD interest differential. But NZD/USD gains are tempered by the positive USD sentiment. Daily chart is still positive-biased as MACD is bullish, stochastics stays elevated at overbought zone, five- and 15-day moving averages are advancing.

Trading recommendation:

In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.87. A breach of this target would push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 0.8680. The pivot point is at 0.8740.
