The NZD/JPY pair continued its downward trajectory on Tuesday, retreating to 88.10 amid ongoing bearish pressure. This decline builds on the pair's recent breakout from a clear sideways trading range between 90.00 and 92.00, signaling a shift in sentiment toward sustained selling.

Technical indicators confirm the bearish outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has declined sharply to 39, remaining in negative territory and reflecting intensifying downward momentum. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows flat red bars, suggesting a pause in momentum as the pair consolidates recent losses.

For any recovery, NZD/JPY would need to reclaim the 88.50 level as a first step, followed by a test of the psychological 89.00 barrier. On the downside, the pair remains vulnerable to further declines, with immediate targets at 87.50 and potentially extending to the 85.00-86.00 support zone if bearish momentum persists.
