NZD/USD Price Analysis: Plummets from a four-month high, drops below 0.6200

NZD/USD hit a three-month high, past the 0.6200 figure, but high US bond yields are undermining the pair.
Further downside is seen if the pair slumps below 0.6100, with the 200-DMA in sight.
Buyers keeping the NZD/USD exchange rate above 0.6200, to pave the way for 0.6300.

NZD/USD retreats late in the Monday North American session after rallying to a new four-month high of 0.6226, but a repricing for a less dovish US Federal Reserve witnessed a jump in US bond yields. Consequently, the pair tumbled more than 0.80% and trades at 0.6154.

The NZD/USD uptrend remains intact, though it is subject to a pullback. If the pair slides past the 0.6150 figure, the next support would be the November 30 swing low at 0.6120. Up next the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 0.6089. A breach of the latter and the pair could shift neutral if it slumps below the October 11 high turned support at 0.6055.

On the other hand, if NZD/USD buyers reclaim 0.6200, further upside is seen above 0.6226, followed by a test of the July 27 high at 0.6273. If those two supply zones are erased, a jump to 0.6300 is on the cards.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
