NZD/USD Shooting star and RSI divergence to define next move

Since late November 2017 the New Zealand Dollar is trying to fight against the US dollar. It’s a hard game to play. The NZD/USD pair touched its highest level since then at 0.7436, having formed a double top with the September 20 top.  Meanwhile as seen on the daily chart the New Zealand Dollar’s upwards march is hindered fundamentally by disappointing CPI figures and technically by the formed Shooting Star candlestick. Adding to this picture the RSI divergence comparing to the uptrend line staring from late December 2017.  
The pair is facing support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of latest August to November down slope at 0.7260, which in case of breaking would open doors for testing the 50% Fibo of same decline at 0.7165.   
During the past weeks we witness some signs of strength towards the upside, but yet remain difficult to catch. The immediate movement of the pair is yet confined by higher highs and lows, which do not exclude a sideways consolidation. So entering short is not a good option right now having the expectations for another bulls’ intervention.
