NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bears lose some claws as the pair manages to recoup losses

On Tuesday, the NZD/USD extended its decline, initially dropping to 0.6095, but managed to pare the majority of its losses by the end of the trading day. Buyers staged a comeback, pushing the pair back towards 0.6140. However, the short-term outlook still leans towards the downside, but the day's recovery is a positive sign for the pair.

According to the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 53 suggests a neutral situation. This implies that the market is neither overbought nor oversold, providing some room for upward movement if the buying pressures can keep the momentum. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) continues to print red bars, which confirms the presence of the sellers.

NZD/USD daily chart

For the NZD/USD, the immediate support resides at 0.6100. Deeper support is available at the convergence of the 100-day and 200-day SMAs at 0.6069 and 0.6062 respectively, which can provide a solid footing for the pair in case of an extended downside move. A break below these SMA convergence points could point towards a huge sell signal.

In contrast, the pair's main resistance remains around the 20-day SMA at 0.6145 and above at the recent high at the 0.6220 level. A breakout above this consolidation range could be interpreted as a buy signal, suggesting the current bearish sentiment could be coming to an end.
