NZD/USD Price Forecast: Pulls back from 0.6050 near seven-month highs

  • NZD/USD may target its fresh seven-month high of 0.6055, marked on Tuesday.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index is positioned above the 50 mark, suggesting a persistent bullish bias.
  • The nine-day EMA of 0.5976 appears as the primary support within the rectangular pattern.

NZD/USD is retracing its recent losses, trading around 0.5990 during the European hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a revival of neutral market sentiment as the Kiwi pair is attempting to fall back within a rectangular pattern.

However, the pair depreciates despite a stronger short-term price momentum, positioning above a nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Additionally, the bullish bias persists as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is maintaining its position above the 50 mark.

On the upside, the NZD/USD pair may again target the fresh seven-month high of 0.6055, recorded earlier in the Asian session. A successful breach above this key resistance zone could reinforce the bullish bias and open the doors for the pair to explore the region around the eight-month high of 0.6350, marked in October 2024.

A downside return to the rectangular pattern could prompt the pair to test the nine-day EMA of 0.5976, followed by the 50-day EMA at 0.5891. A break below these levels could weaken the short- and medium-term price momentum and put downward pressure on the pair to test the rectangle’s lower boundary around 0.5830.

Further decline beneath the rectangle pattern could cause the emergence of the bearish bias and pave the way for a deeper decline toward 0.5485, a level not seen since March 2020.
