NZD/JPY Price Analysis: Continues to plunge as sellers reign supreme

  • Friday's trading session saw the NZD/JPY pair resuming its losses, exacerbating the bearish momentum.
  • Cross ends the week with a near 2% loss.
  • Sellers are pointing towards the 100-day SMA.

In Friday's trading session, the NZD/JPY pair extended its losses and slumped to 94.65, marking a 0.50% decline. Even though a slight rebound occurred on Thursday, the pair ended the week with approximately 2% losses, underscoring a continuously negative outlook.

Daily technical indicators reinforce the control of the bears, irrespective of Thursday's brief rebound. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) edged into oversold territory while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) continued to print rising red bars, implying the presence of sustained selling pressure. However, the RSI below 30, might suggest an incoming upwards correction.

NZD/JPY daily chart

Corresponding to the established bearish mood, immediate support levels are now lower at 94.50 and at the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 94.00. A downward crossing of these levels could substantiate the short-term bearish superiority. Resistance levels stay at the prior support markers of 95.00, 95.50, and 96.00, which could be significant thresholds for possible upside movements.
