Besides, the pair successfully broke a major bearish trend line with resistance near 0.6955 on the hourly chart. It opened the doors for more gains above the 0.6970 level.

The pair climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the 0.7047 high to 0.6910 low. However, there are a few important resistances on the upside near the 0.6990 and 0.7000 levels.

The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the 0.7047 high to 0.6910 low is also near the 0.6990 level. Therefore, if there is an upside break above the 0.7000 level, the pair could continue to rise.

The next major resistance above 0.7000 is near the 0.7040 and 0.7050 levels. On the downside, there is a strong support forming near the 0.6955 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

There was a clear break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near 0.6610 on the hourly chart. The pair even climbed above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the 0.6719 high to 0.6567 low.

However, the pair seems to be facing resistance near the 0.6690 and 0.6700 levels. The 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the 0.6719 high to 0.6567 low is also acting as a resistance.

If there is an upside break above the 0.7000 level, the pair could continue to rise towards the 0.7020 and 0.7040 levels in the near term.

On the downside, there is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near 0.6660. If NZD/USD trades below 0.6660 and 0.6650, it could start a fresh decline.
