NZD/USD Price Forecast: Falls to near 0.6050 within the descending channel

  • NZD/USD attempts to remain within the descending channel pattern.
  • If the 14-day RSI breaks below the 30 level, it would indicate an oversold territory and possibility of a short-term upward correction.
  • The immediate resistance appears at the nine-day EMA at 0.6101 level, followed by the 50-day EMA at 0.6153 level.

The NZD/USD continues its losing streak for the fourth consecutive day, hovering around 0.6050 during Thursday's European trading session. The analysis of the daily chart shows that the pair attempts to remain within the descending channel pattern, signaling a continuation of the bearish trend.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) approaches the 30 level, reinforcing the current bearish sentiment. A drop below this threshold would indicate that the NZD/USD pair is oversold, potentially leading to a short-term upward correction. Furthermore, the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) remains below the 50-day EMA, highlighting weakness in the short-term price trend for the pair.

In terms of support, if the NZD/USD pair successfully re-enters the descending channel, it may test the area around the lower boundary at the 0.5880 level, followed by the "pullback support" near the 0.5850 level.

On the upside, the immediate resistance is at the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around the level of 0.6102, followed by the 50-day EMA at 0.6153 level. A break above these levels could shift the outlook to bullish, potentially allowing the NZD/USD pair to target the 16-month high of 0.6379, which was last reached on September 30.

AUD/USD consolidates near a two-month low, trading just below mid-0.6900s during the Asian session on Thursday amid a bullish US Dollar. The US PCE data tempered October Fed hike bets, though oil-driven inflation fears remain supportive of elevated US bond yields. Adding to this, geopolitical uncertainty underpins the buck, which, along with the RBA's cautious outlook, acts as a headwind for the currency pair.


USD/JPY advances to weekly top, around 157.75 as bullish USD counters intervention risks

USD/JPY recovers further from a one-and-a-half-week low, touched the previous day, climbing to the top end of its weekly range during the Asian session on Thursday. Despite the softer US PCE data, oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields elevated near multi-year highs. Moreover, the US-Iran standoff benefits the safe-haven US Dollar and supports the currency pair. However, BoJ rate hike bets and intervention fears could limit losses for the Japanese Yen, warranting caution for bulls.

The Fed's October hike shrinks with the inflation it was built on

Traders have moved the next Federal Reserve hike from October 28 to December 9, and the inflation report that added to the move said more about July than August.

The Euro is near a one-year low: Inflation could trigger its rebound, not its fall
