NZD/USD Price Forecast: Holds below 200-day, bears target 0.5700
- NZD/USD remains below 200-day SMA for twenty-five sessions.
- RSI shows buyers active, but consolidation risk remains elevated.
- Break below 0.5700 exposes 0.5672 and 0.5650 supports.
The New Zealand Dollar recoiled during Monday’s North American session, down 0.12%, as the Greenback posted gains versus most G8 FX currencies amid rising geopolitical tensions and hawkish comments from a Fed Governor. The NZD/USD trades at 0.5754, down from daily highs of 0.5789.
NZD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The Kiwi Dollar remains downward biased, with the pair standing below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.5819, for the twenty-fifth consecutive trading day. This is despite the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) raising rates and opening the door to further tightening.
Momentum, as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggests that buyers are in charge, though, as of writing, it signals further consolidation ahead.
For a bearish continuation, the NZD/USD must drop below the psychological 0.5700 figure. Below this area lies the July 8 low of 0.5672, followed by 0.5650. Once hurdled, the next stop is the 0.5600 milestone.
Upwards, the first resistance is the July 10 daily high at 0.5794, ahead of 0.5800. Above this level lies the confluence of the 50- and 200-day SMAs at around 0.5812-0.5819, respectively, followed by the 100-day SMA at 0.5835 and by the 0.5850 mark.
