NZD/USD Price Forecast: New Zealand Dollar steadies above 0.5800 as neutral bias prevails

NZD/USD may find initial support at the rectangle's lower boundary near 0.5790.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index around 43 suggests waning upside momentum rather than outright oversold conditions.
The initial barrier lies at the nine-day EMA of 0.5853.

NZD/USD gains ground for the second successive day, trading around 0.5810 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. Technical analysis of the daily chart suggests the spot price is moving sideways within a rectangle pattern, reflecting a period of market consolidation and indecision.

The NZD/USD pair is maintaining a bearish near-term bias as spot holds beneath both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The alignment of price below these short- and medium-term EMAs suggests rallies are likely to be sold, while a soft 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading around 43 hints at waning upside momentum rather than outright oversold conditions.

The NZD/USD pair may find initial support at the lower boundary of the rectangle around 0.5790, followed by the two-week low of 0.5782, recorded on June 8. A break below this confluence support zone would put downward pressure on the pair to navigate the region around a six-month low of 0.5681, which was recorded on April 6.

On the upside, the NZD/USD pair may rise toward the primary barrier at the nine-day EMA of 0.5853, followed by the 50-day EMA at 0.5875. A successful break above these moving averages could support the pair to approach the upper boundary of the rectangle around 0.5990, followed by the three-month high of 0.5995, which was reached on February 29.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
