AUDNZD Approaching Key Level

Priceaction in AUDNZD is looking interesting here. The pair has been trending higherwithin a broad bullish channel this year. Recently, the rally has stalled atthe 1.1166 resistance. However, following a shallow correction the market is nowheading back up towards the level and with the retail market more than 80%short, there is plenty of room for a break higher here. Bulls can look for a break of that level targeting 1.1286 initially.

RBA hawkishnesshas been a major contributing factor for recent AUD upside and, with the banksignalling further hikes to come, AUD looks set to remain well-supportedagainst NZD. The latest Aussie CPI data overnight was a little disappointingfor bulls but, nonetheless, the pair is still rallying today suggesting thatRBA views prior to the data have not shifted.
