AUD/NZD daily chart
On the daily chart, the AUD/NZD pair has been under selling pressure from the high of 1.0753 made on July 13.
The descending trendline act as a barrier for the bulls. The formation of a Doji candlestick indicates indecisiveness among traders.
A sustained move above the intraday high would bring further buying interest in the pair.
In doing so, the first upside target could be found at the 1.0400 horizontal resistance level.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades in the oversold zone. Any uptick in the MACD would accelerate the upside momentum toward the high made on Tuesday at 1.0455.
On the successful breakout of the bearish sloping line, AUD/NZD bulls would target the 1.0490 horizontal resistance level.
