The inspection of the broader outlook reveals that the NZD/USD shows a bearish trend, given its position relative to its Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). The pair is below the 20-day, 100-day, and 200-day SMAs, indicating sustained downward bias in both the short-term and long-term contexts. Furthermore, the bearish crossover of the 20 and 200-day SMAs at the 0.6070 level suggests a persistent and significant downtrend is foreseeable, also endorsing the negative outlook.
