NZD/USD Price Forecast: Bears loom after testing 200-DMA downwards
The New Zealand Dollar extends its losses for the second straight day amid a firm US Dollar courtesy of the Middle East conflict, which fueled fears of higher inflation sparked by the jump in Oil prices. The NZD/USD trades at 0.5889, down 0.80%.
NZD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Kiwi’s technical picture remains upward biased after briefly testing the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at around 0.5874, climbing above the latter and finishing the session closer to the 0.5900 figure.
Momentum is bearish biased as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is below its 50-neutral level, aiming towards oversold territory.
Hence, the NZD/USD could extend its losses in the short term if sellers clear the 200-day SMA at 0.5874. Once surpassed, the next area of interest would be the day’s low of 0.5836 ahead of the 100-day SMA at 0.5813. A breach of the latter will expose the January 19 low of 0.5737.
For a bullish resumption, traders must clear key resistance levels like the 50-day SMA at 0.5909. After this, watch the March 3 daily peak at 0.5955 for the next area of supply ahead of 0.6000.

Understanding the US Treasury's "Black Wednesday": The "Perfect Storm" Impact and the Rising Tide of "October Rate Hike"
U.S. Treasury bonds suffered their worst single-day sell-off in nearly 18 months: surging oil prices, explosive PMI data, hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve, and a lackluster 5-year Treasury auction combined to create four simultaneous negative factors. The 10-year yield broke above 5.1%, reaching a new high since 2007; the market's probability of another rate hike in October soared to 68%, and the swap market is now pricing in expectations of three rate hikes over the next year. Analysts believe that more than 80% of this sell-off is driven by real interest rates, with the 30-year mortgage rate surpassing 7% and doubts persisting about the effectiveness of the Treasury’s buyback plan.
