Regarding broader technical aspects, the NZD/JPY sits below its 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). However, it remains above its longer-term 100 and 200-day SMAs.

Thus, the divergence between the daily and hourly readings may imply that the underlying bullish bias could resurface, especially if the hourly indicators continue to improve.
