"With the focus turning to central banks this week (and in particular the divergent policy outlooks for the Fed and RBNZ), an early test of the 200-day moving average at 0.7180 looks likely.
The kiwi starts the week on the back foot and is approaching key downside (200-day moving average) support.

Support 0.7180 Resistance 0.7420"
