NZD/USD Price Forecast: Rises above 0.5750 toward nine-day EMA

  • NZD/USD could find initial support at the four-month low of 0.5698.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains near the 40 level, indicating continued bearish momentum.
  • Primary resistance stands at the nine-day EMA of 0.5780.

NZD/USD extends its gains for the second successive day, trading around 0.5760 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart signals an ongoing bearish bias as the pair remains within a descending channel pattern.

The NZD/USD pair maintains a bearish near-term bias as spot holds below both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which cap recovery attempts around the mid-0.58s to low-0.59s.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 40, confirming persistent downside momentum rather than oversold exhaustion and aligning with the recent sequence of lower highs and lower closes.

The NZD/USD pair could find initial support at the four-month low of 0.5698, recorded on March 31, with additional downside support located near the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5650. A sustained move below this level may expose the pair to further losses toward the region of the 11-month low near 0.5580, which was last seen in November 2025.

On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at the nine-day EMA near 0.5780. This is followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel around 0.5830, along with the medium-term moving average at 0.5867. A decisive break above this confluence resistance zone would shift the bias toward the upside and potentially open the door for a move toward the monthly high of 0.5996, recorded on March 2.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.
BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
