- The AUD/NZD is down 0.8% on the week as the Aussie backslides.
- The Aussie sees six-week lows against the Kiwi.
- The next target for sellers will be 1.0600.
The AUD/NZD is down five-tenths of a percent from Monday’s opening bids near 1.0875, and the Aussie (AUD) is positioned to be the biggest currency loser of the week, in the red against every other major currency. The Kiwi (NZD) is in a tight race for second place, likewise shedding value across the major currency board, but isn’t able to keep up with the AUD’s declines.
Intraday action sees the AUD/NZD capped by the 50-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) descending from the 1.0700 handle, with the 200-hour SMA pushing down through 1.0760, and level the AUD/NZD saw a rejection from at the start of the trading week.
The Aussie has closed lower for four of the last six trading sessions, and the near-term floor on bearish momentum will be a support zone priced in from 1.0625 to 1.0650, from early October’s swing low in the price region.
The long-term 200-day SMA continues to drift into the 1.0800 handle, establishing a midrange that the AUD/NZD has cycled around for much of 2023.
