NZD/USD Price Predictions: Kiwi edges above 0.5060 as downward pressure weakens
NZD/USD Outlook: Bearish Momentum Persists
The New Zealand Dollar continues to exhibit weakness against the US Dollar, although Friday has brought a slight uptick, with the pair trading near 0.5770 after reaching multi-week lows below 0.5750. Technical signals point to a possible short-term rebound. Over the last three days, NZD/USD has fallen roughly 1.6%, and is set for a weekly loss of about 0.85%. The kiwi, sensitive to global risk, has struggled amid heightened demand for the safe-haven USD following escalating tensions between the US and Iran.
Technical Overview
Hourly chart indicators are beginning to show early signs of a corrective move. While the immediate trend remains negative, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to around 45, recovering from oversold levels and indicating that selling pressure may be easing. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is hovering near the signal and zero lines, with a slight positive bias in recent bars, hinting at a modest recovery.
Buyers face resistance at the intersection of the trendline from the March 23 highs, currently at 0.5775, and the intra-day peak at 0.5780. A decisive move above these barriers could reduce bearish momentum and shift attention towards the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the latest decline, located at 0.5800.
On the downside, sellers are holding above the session low near 0.5760, with Thursday's trough at 0.5750 acting as additional support. Should the pair break lower, the bottom of the current channel around 0.5720 becomes a likely target.
