The NZD/USD pair collapsed on Friday, diving toward the 0.5600 area as bearish momentum dominated the session. The pair traded deep in the red, shedding over 3% on the day and remaining mid-range between recent extremes at 0.5551 and 0.5798. Sellers stayed firmly in control through the day, with technical indicators confirming the downturn. The action unfolds during Friday’s session ahead of the Asian opening.

Daily chart

Technicals suggest a clear downside bias. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Bull Bear Power indicator both print sell signals, amplifying bearish sentiment. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 37.21 flirts with oversold territory.

Moving averages reinforce the bearish tone across the board. The 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.57105 and 10-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.57148 are both aligned lower. Longer-term indicators, including the 20-day SMA at 0.57342, the 100-day at 0.57177, and the 200-day at 0.59039, confirm an extended period of selling pressure.
