The quote’s drop below 200-HMA amid bearish MACD signals and downward sloping RSI line, not oversold, also justify the downbeat fundamentals, suggesting further weakness towards a short-term support line near 0.6930.
However, any further downside past a one-week-old ascending support line may not hesitate to challenge the yearly low near 0.6880.
On the flip side, corrective pullback below the 200-HMA level of 0.6970 will aim for an immediate horizontal hurdle surrounding 0.6990 and then to the 0.7000 threshold.
Though, a clear run-up past 0.7000 may recall short-term NZD/USD bulls targeting July’s top near 0.7105.
Overall, NZD/USD remains on the bears’ radar, indicating a fresh yearly low.
