During Friday's trading session, the NZD/JPY pair continued its substantial drop from Thursday, recording a further loss of 0.20% and settling at 96.65. The pair remains well below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 97.80, reinforcing the bearish outlook in the short term.

The daily chart signals sustained negative conditions. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) improved slightly from Thursday's session but still remains in the negative territory at 40, indicating a continued declining market momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) concurs with this scenario, printing rising red bars indicative of rising selling activity.
