NZD/USD continues its losing streak that began on June 17, trading around 0.5650 during the Asian hours on Friday. Technical analysis of the daily chart suggests the spot price is moving downwards within the descending channel, reflecting a persistent bearish bias.

The NZD/USD pair is keeping a bearish near-term bias as spot holds beneath both the nine-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.5703 and the 50-period EMA at 0.5820. The alignment of short and medium EMAs above price suggests continued downside pressure, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 28 remains in oversold territory, hinting that the latest slide is stretched but not yet showing a clear recovery signal.

The NZD/USD pair may find initial support at the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5620, followed by the 14-month low of 0.5580, which was recorded in November 2025. Further declines below this confluence support zone would strengthen the bearish bias and lead the pair to test the 0.5485, the lowest since March 2020.

On the upside, the NZD/USD pair may rise toward the primary barrier at the nine-day EMA of 0.5703, followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel around 0.5760. Further resistance lies at the 50-day EMA of 0.5819.
