NZD/USD daily chart
On the daily chart, the pair has been consolidating near the previous sessions low at 0.7150 a key psychological mark, which is coinciding with the extended ascending trendline from the lows of 0.6945. With a potential of further downside, if price breaks the mentioned upward sloping line, then the next level of support will be at the 0.7120 horizontal support level.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator reads above the midline with a bearish crossover. Following the oscillator readings, price would aim for the 0.7070 horizontal support level followed by April 14 low at 0.7045.
Alternatively, if price makes a sustained move above 0.7170, then reaching out to the 0.7200 critical horizontal resistance zone would be possible, followed by May 6 high at 0.7240.
The next area of support would be the previous session’s high at 0.7283.
