NZD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The Kiwi Dollar seems to recover during the day, but the overall trend is downwards, until the pair reclaims the May 29 high of 0.5995. Momentum turned bullish as depicted in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but seems to be fading as the index is about to pierce bearish territory.
As of writing, the NZD/USD is testing key resistance below 0.5800. A breach of the latter will expose the confluence of the 100- and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) at 0.5823/24, followed by the July 21 high at 0.5874. Above this area, the next resistance is the 0.5900, followed by the May 29 high, beneath 0.6000.
On the other hand, if NZD/USD breaches the low of the week (LOW) of 0.5762, it opens the door for further downside. The next key support is the July 13 low of 0.5743, followed by 0.5700. Beneath lies the July 7 high at 0.5672.
