The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) reached a fresh 52-week high around 87.93 during Monday’s trading session, courtesy of a risk-on impulse, which bolstered risk-perceived currencies to the detriment of the Japanese Yen (JPY). At the time of writing, the NZD/JPY is trading at 87.80.

NZD/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The NZD/JPY hit a fresh YTD high of 87.93 on Monday, invalidating a previous double-top formation that emerged in November 2022. The cross-currency pair remains upward biased, though the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at bullish territory turned flat, while the Rate of Change (RoC) depicts buyers losing momentum.

In the near term, the NZD/JPY 1-hour chart illustrates the pair is upward biased, though a negative divergence between price action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests sellers are moving in. Additionally, the Rate of Change (RoC) shows that buying pressure is fading. Hence, the NZD/JPY first support would be the daily pivot point at 87.69. A breach of the latter will expose the intersection of the S1 pivot point and the 50-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 87.44, followed by the 100-EMA at 87.19 and the S2 pivot point at 87.04.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.
