NZD/USD Price Forecast: Hovers around 0.5850, 50-day EMA due to bullish reversal
- NZD/USD may explore the area around the March high of 0.5996.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index rises above 50, confirming strengthening upside momentum.
- The pair hovers around the 50-day EMA at 0.5841.
NZD/USD gains ground for the third consecutive day, trading around 0.5850 during the early European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart signals a bullish reversal as the pair rises above the descending channel pattern.
The near-term bias turns cautiously bullish as the NZD/USD pair rebounds from recent lows and reclaims the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), while the 50-day EMA flattens just below spot and starts acting as a nearby dynamic floor.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has bounced back above the 50 line, confirming improving upside momentum after a prolonged period of subdued strength and suggesting that dips are now attracting buyers rather than extending the prior downtrend.
A successful break above the confluence around the upper boundary of the descending channel has shifted the bias toward the upside and potentially opened the door for the NZD/USD pair to explore the region around the March high of 0.5996, recorded on March 2.
A pullback below the 50-day EMA at 0.5841 would suppress the NZD/USD pair toward the descending channel and test the nine-day EMA support at 0.5761, followed by the five-month low of 0.5681, recorded on April 6. A break below the latter would expose the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5610, with additional support at 0.5580, the lowest since April 9, 2025, which was last seen in November 2025.
(The story was corrected on April 8 at 8:45 GMT to say in the third bullet that the pair hovers around the 50-day EMA instead of testing it.)
