The NZD/USD pair continued its slide on Monday ahead of the Asian session, with the Kiwi dipping toward the 0.5550 area. The bearish tone dominated as the pair lost ground within the broader range between 0.5551 and 0.5798, extending a recent decline that aligns with the weakening technical landscape.

Daily chart

From a technical standpoint, the setup leans decisively bearish. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints a sell signal, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands bearish at 38.01 while other momentum indicators, such as the Stochastic %K at 46.20 and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) at -191.51, flash neutral readings, but reflect oversold bias nearing breakdown thresholds.

The bearish momentum is supported by moving averages. The 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.57348, 100-day at 0.57179, and 200-day at 0.59039 are all sloping downward, signaling sustained pressure. In addition, the 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and SMA, both near 0.5712, also cap the upside.
