NZDUSD trades in a neutral area. Traders await for a break. CPI this week.

The NZDUSD is trading in a neutral technical area defined by a series of moving averages.

On the topside:

• 100-bar MA on the 4-hour chart at 0.61025
• 200-bar MA on the 4-hour chart at 0.6124

On the downside:

• 200-day MA at 0.6078
• 100-day MA at 0.6064

The current price sits between those levels at 0.60877 between those levels. Neither bull or bear are showing they want to take charge – just yet.

The CPI for the quarter will be released on Tuesday in NY at 6:45 PM ET. The estimate is for 0.5% for the QoQ.

That release may be what is needed to push the price outside the MA range. Until then, the price may be confined by the bookend MAs between 0.6064 to 0.61025.
