NZD/JPY Price Analysis: Pair resumes downward trajectory, reaches lows since September

  • NZD/JPY fell 0.94% on Tuesday to trade near 89.20.
  • The pair has tallied a four-day losing streak, now at lows since September 20.
  • Technical indicators are signaling continued weakness for the pair, suggesting potential for further losses.

The NZD/JPY pair continued its downward trajectory on Tuesday, falling 0.94% to trade near 89.20. This marked the fourth consecutive day of losses for the pair, bringing it to its lowest level since September 20.

The pair's downtrend was further evident in the oversold the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram, both of which corroborated the bearish outlook. This is reinforced by the fact that the cross has broken out of the sideways trade pattern seen since late September, so the pair may see further weakness. On the bright side, there may be an upwards correction as sellers may take a breather after the losing streak, but the overall outlook remains negative.
