NZD/USD Price Forecast: Maintains position above nine-day EMA near 0.5600

  • NZD/USD tests the nine-day EMA at 0.5604, followed by the psychological level of 0.5600.
  • The short-term price momentum is improved as the pair moves above the nine-day EMA.
  • The pair finds its initial resistance at the 14-day EMA of 0.5614 level.

The NZD/USD pair breaks its three-day winning streak, trading around 0.5610 during the European hours on Thursday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a persistent bearish bias as the pair is confined within a descending channel pattern.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below the 50 level, signaling an ongoing bearish bias. However, the NZD/USD pair moves above nine-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), reflecting an improvement in the short-term price momentum.

Regarding its support, the NZD/USD pair tests immediate nine-day EMA at 0.5604, aligned with the psychological level of 0.5600. A break below this level could lead the pair to navigate the region around its support area at 0.5526—its lowest point since October 2022, reached on December 25. Further support appears near the lower edge of its descending channel at the 0.5500 level.

On the upside, the NZD/USD pair tests initial resistance at the 14-day EMA at 0.5614 level. A break above this level could improve the short-term price momentum and support the pair to test the descending channel’s upper boundary at the psychological level of 0.5660 level.

AUD/USD stuck as the RBA talks tough into a slowdown

The Australian Dollar is going nowhere in a hurry, and the contradiction at its core explains why. The Reserve Bank of Australia keeps dangling the prospect of another hike, yet the economy it governs just expanded 0.3% in the first quarter, a clear step down from the prior pace.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
