NZD/USD 4-hour chart
On the 4-hour chart, the NZD/USD pair has been consolidating near the 0.7240 level. The descending trendline from the highs of 0.7317 acts as a defensive for the bulls. The NZD/USD pair faces multiple rejections while approaching the downward sloping line.
If NZD/USD breaks below the 0.7230 level, then it could find the first support near the May 28 low in the vicinity of 0.7200.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator trades below 40. If it remained lower, then more selling opportunities would occur. The bears would approach the 0.7180 support level followed by the May 21 low at 0.7153.
