NZD/USD Price Forecast: Hovers around 0.5950, confines within a consolidation rectangle

  • NZD/USD could target the upper edge of its consolidation range around 0.6000.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains slightly above the 50 level, indicating a mild bullish bias.
  • The initial support is seen near the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.5913.

The NZD/USD pair halts its two-day winning streak, trading around 0.5930 during the European hours on Tuesday. Daily chart technicals suggest a neutral outlook, with the pair remaining confined within a consolidation rectangle.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers just above the 50 mark, suggesting a slight bullish inclination. Meanwhile, the NZD/USD pair trades near the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), indicating neutral short-term momentum.

The NZD/USD pair may aim for the upper boundary of the consolidation range near 0.6000, with the next target at the six-month high of 0.6038, last reached in November 2024. A decisive break above this key resistance zone could pave the way for a move toward the seven-month high around 0.6350, marked in October 2024.

On the downside, initial support for the NZD/USD pair lies around the nine-day EMA at 0.5913. A break below this level would signal weakening short-term momentum, potentially driving the pair toward the 50-day EMA at 0.5850, which aligns with the rectangle’s lower boundary. A sustained move beneath this critical support zone could further erode medium-term momentum, opening the door for a deeper decline toward 0.5485 — a level not seen since March 2020.

Markets question Fed's inflation resolve after July FOMC meeting
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh continues to project a tough stance on inflation, repeatedly promising to restore price stability and keep inflation anchored at the central bank's longstanding 2% target. But according to Mike Maharrey in this week's Money Metals Midweek Memo, markets are beginning to judge the Fed by its actions rather than its rhetoric—and so far, they aren't convinced.
9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?
The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
