NZDUSD has trended higher all week, clearing the 0.5840-0.5845 200-DMA confluence into the NY session and printing a week high at 0.58632, aided by a softer-USD tape after this week's CPI/PPI misses. Price has since eased back to 0.58487 and is retesting the broken confluence from above, with RSI(14) cycling in the upper half rather than pushing fresh extremes.
