Additionally, the NZD/USD continues its strong upward trend, with the convergence of its 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) in the 0.6050-0.6100 region providing strong support for the pair. Despite any data that may indicate a stabilizing NZD, the technical indicators reflect ongoing bullish activity. Any movements below this convergence could be considered a sell signal.
