NZD/JPY Price Analysis: Bears seize control, key 20-day SMA broken breached
- NZD/JPY ended Thursday's session with a significant decline.
- The bears successfully pushed the pair below the crucial 20-day SMA, signaling a shift in command.
In Thursday's trading session, the NZD/JPY pair dropped substantially, losing 1.40% to land at 96.80. The pair slipped below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 97.70, indicating a negative outlook in the short-term as the outlook is now somewhat bearish at least for the short-term.
On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) plummeted to 44. This swift shift towards negative territory suggests a decline in market momentum, and it is important to note that the RSI shifted from nearly overbought terrain to below the middle point. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also adds weight to this bearish scenario, registering rising red bars indicative of decreased buying momentum.
